Yes, he was. Very strange. I interpreted it as seeing WE from Leo's

Was the vault in the basement?  If so, then let me ask you this:  how did
good old Delbert's glasses get blown off his face, UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS,
and out the front windows of the bank to land in a Douglas Fir, without
even breaking them?!!

I think the vault was on the main floor of the bank and not downstairs at
all.  Or maybe Lynch just wanted to create the Amazing Delbert Bomb-Proof
Stealth Smart Glasses.

Finale hship@sw.stratus.com (Howard Ship) 1991-06-12 13:46
If you haven't seen the final episode then what are you doing on this
bulletin board?


Anyway, I'm beginning to get upset by the use of the word "doppleganger"
for what Bob does.  Bob posseses people, perhaps shifting their 
soul/essense/personality to the black lodge, but he uses (then discards)
the actual body. 

In fact, Bob may simply pre-empt the personality of the user.  Check
Leland's behavior:

He killed the fat frenchman (memory fails).  A brutal act,
but motivated by fatherly revenge, not Bob's kill-lust.  Also,
he killed the dude in a non-Bob like manner.   This would
indicate that Bob's possesion pre-empts the Leland personality,
who has no memory of whats going on.  I kind of see Leland's soul trapped
in the Black Lodge, where Bob can extract information from him, so as
to maintain the Leland act.

However, when Bob leaves Leland's body, Leland claims to remember all
the horrible things Bob did with his body ... perhaps Bob "clued him in"
as a parting shot ...

What goes on in the black lodge has its own set of rules: presumably
the physical reality in the black lodge is a manifestation of the
occupant's mental state (that is, it is a dream world).  Having
two Coopers there is just a way of viewing the internal battle within
Coop as Bob takes possesion ... Bob has split off the evil in Cooper, and
given it sufficient power that it appears a seperate entity.  Alternate:
the evil Cooper is just an image (like the images of Laura, Maddy & etc.)
used to shake Cooper enough to allow Bob to get a mental foothold.

Further more, whatever is going on is not a science:  It defies the
rational/spiritual approach (Cooper) and the manic/magic approach
(Earle).  Bob may be capable of many different approaches.

Of course, in the final scene, it appears that Bob is showing off to
Cooper:  Staying hidden in the back of Cooper's mind until he is alone,
then taking control slowly (slow enough for Coop to try and brain himself)
as Coop realizes what is happening.

Typical Lynch:  not enough puzzle pieces to make any definate statement.
However, I really doubt we'll see two Coops out in the real world.  This
could go anywhere, assuming there IS a followup.

I agree.  Notice that when Coop was shot, the waiter (a.k.a. Senor
Droolcup, thanks to Albert) and the Giant both were benevolent,
but while the Giant gave Coop clues and predictions, both the Giant
and Droolcup are powerless to otherwise intervene. i.e. The Giant apparently
has great power, but leaves the fighting up to Coop. Droolcup could
easily have helped the wounded Coop, but just kept coming back to give
Coop the thumbs-up sign.

Interestingly, some cultures revere people with mental disabilities
as seers, possibly because some exhibit savantism--remember Rainman??

Scene:  Everything is fuzzy.  Slowly, things swim into focus.  Back
lit shadows of people, faces becoming clearer, clearer:  BOB, Leland,

Camera pulls back.

Full cut:  Laura Palmer's room.  Shot of the bed.  It's early morning,
judging from the lighting.  Laura waking up, everyone leaning over the
bed looking concerned.  Laura wakes with a start, sits up.

As Marge Simpson would say, "HmmmmmmmmmmMM!"  Somebody's glasses blew out the door
of the bank, or out a window.  If they were the old banker's glasses it must have
been some blast, since he was nowhere near the bomb.  If they were Andrew's, they
would have had to blow around a corner, out the vault door, and then outside, again
making it quite some blast.  I doubt Andrew's bulk would be effective at shielding
something like that.

I'm with you on the butting -- but I felt the "How's Annie" quote was BOB laughing
at how easily Truman and Doc were taken in by BOB's own acting, pretending he still

   I thought, while I was watching it, that there's a statue at *one* end
   of the hallway and not the other.  I assumed it was put there in part
   to serve as a reference point so that we could tell which room was
   which.  At some point, though, it seemed that things got totally
   turned around and inconsistent, sort of like the scene in "Yellow
   Submarine" where Our Heroes run in one hotel room door and then out of
   the door across the corridor.

[In what follows, I'm calling the first of the red curtained rooms
that Cooper enters, ``the waiting room'', just to have some name for
it.]

The first five times Cooper goes through the hallway, there is a
statue at ``the far end'' (i.e. the end away from ``the waiting room''
or its current incarnation, and away from the camera).  Moreover,
Cooper is filmed fairly consistently: when he is moving away from
``the waiting room'' end, he is filmed from behind, moving toward the
statue, away from the camera; when he is moving toward ``the waiting
room'' end, he is filmed from the front, moving away from the statue,
toward the camera.  (This assumes there is only one statue in the
hallway(s) with the statue.)  When Cooper leaves the room where he
starts to bleed from the stomach, which was the room away from ``the
waiting room'' end, he is filmed, as usual, approaching the camera.
But there is no statue behind him.  The point of view then cuts to a
position from behind Cooper and there is no statue in front of him,
either.  I take it that the different camera angle is meant to let us
know that this is a hallway without a statue at either end.

The hallway where Cooper meets Leland is also a hallway without a
statue, since we see the hallway from Cooper and Doppel-Cooper's
viewpoints, and there's no statue at either end.  Also, I believe that
the camera position is different in this scene, and is at what was
formerly ``the far end'' of the hallway.  Since this is where Cooper
starts to run away from his Doppelganger, towards the room where he
entered the XXX Lodge, this is probably a deliberate shift in camera
point of view.  I'm not completely certain of this, however.  Up until
Cooper encounters Caroline for the first time, we see him enter and
exit each room he's in, and it's possible to chart his course.
However, we don't see him leave the room where he meets Caroline;
there is a cross-fade, to a shot of the camera panning up a hallway,
with Cooper saying ``Annie'' over and over.  At this point, it's not
clear where the next room, where he encounters Windom Earle et al, is.
In the climactic race with his Doppelganger, it looks like Cooper
crosses two hallways and goes through a room.  The last room of the
chase seems to be the original ``waiting room''.  If it is, the
Doppelganger catches Cooper at the spot where Cooper entered the XXX
Lodge (which makes sense, since ``Cooper'' then reappearsin
Glastonbury Grove.  Also, if I'm right about the orientation.  The
Doppelganger enters at a point diagonally opposite from where Cooper
entered the XXX Lodge.

Fall Out not so wierd? grosvald@herb-ox.berkeley.edu (Mike Grosvald) 1991-06-12 16:19
This is a question for Twin Peaks and Prisoner fans.

I have watched TP since it began and thought the finale was
strange, but being a fan of the show, I understood to some
degree what the wierdness was all about.  In other words,
I knew about TP-things like shadow-selves, Caroline's murder,
BOB, etc., so things did make some kind of sense.  I imagine
that to a newcomer, though, it would have seemed like utter
chaos.

Now, speaking of utter chaos, that's what the last episode
of The Prisoner seemed like to me.  However, I've only seen
three or so episodes of The Prisoner (including the first one),
so I'm willing to suppose that the last show really does make 
sense provided one is familiar with the rest of The Prisoner
series.

So that is my question.  If one watches every episode of The
Prisoner and then sees the last episode, does it make sense
at all?  Or is it truly the hodgepodge that it seems to a newcomer
like me to be?

Just curious.  Thanks in advance,

Mike Grosvald

Death of alt.tv.t-p? NO WAY! jguy@lilith.EBay.Sun.COM (Jeff Bone) 1991-06-12 16:35
I have to agree with everyone who's said that the "end" of the show
does *NOT* necessitate killing or renaming the group.  That's 100%
absolutely ludicrous.  There is and will continue to be enough to
discuss concerning Twin Peaks to justify its continued existance.

alt.tv.t-p should be *the* forum for continued lobbying and support
for further TP ventures, news concerning such, status on such, news
about TP paraphenalia :P ;), TP conventions (it'll happen), stuff
from COOP, and all the rest of that jazz, not to mention the more
serious ;) discussion concerning what the hell it all meant.


Even if this is the "end" of TP, mark my words:  the cult status is
just beginning.  You take things for granted until you don't have
them anymore...  the *only* time it will be appropriate to discuss
removing, rescoping, or renaming this newsgroup will be when the
USENET stats show that it no longer has sufficient readership to
justify its existance.

Where did Annie come from? jerry@convex.com (Jerry Sanders) 1991-06-12 16:40
I was wondering how Annie got out of the Black Lodge.  Possibilities:

1.  Annie was in the Venus statue and got knocked out with Coop.

   [ Comparisons between Venus de Milo and Suicide Annie deleted. ]

2.  Annie was posessed by Mike and marked with the trademark forehead bash.

3.  Bob let her out doing the honorable thing. - No way.

I think Annie and Coop are still in the black lodge.  After all, a red
room must be just as nice a place to stay as the Great Northern or a
convent. :-)

If they are in the black lodge, they can find the path to the white lodge,
with the help of the giant, and escape.

Love and Death and stuff... walsh@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu (Edward E Walsh) 1991-06-12 16:48
SPOILERS follow...

I like to see Twin Peaks as an extended riff on the conflicts of
love, especially the way love fragments into desire, violence, and
fear.  After all, at the heart of the TP story is a tale of childhood
sexual abuse--a father's seduction and murder of a beloved and
seductive daughter.

Other Twin Peaks romances share the illicit and/or violent elements
of the Leland/Laura relationship--Leo and Shelly's sadomasochistic
marriage; Hank and Norma's similarly twisted marriage; the
"accidental" shooting during Ed and Nadine's honeymoon (they got
married, remember, because Norma cheated on Ed); Shelly's adultery
with Bobby; Ed's adultery with Norma; and of course Cooper's adultery
with Caroline, and Caroline's murder by Windom.

Then there are all those ominous hints about past romances--whatever
horrible events drove Annie to the convent, for example.  And let's
not forget demonic Little Nicky and his parents.  Characters' passion
for Laura, too, leads to violent death--e.g. Maddy, and poor Harold.

I keep expecting someone to start singing "You Always Hurt the One
You Love," or (more cinematically appropriate) "Love Kills" (from
Queen's soundtrack for "Metropolis").

The second season seems to have devoted itself to spreading this
theme around with occult imagery.  What I think we're seeing in these
latest episodes is Lynch's typical heaping up of any gruesome
allusions that seem to fit the theme, like he's building some massive
gothic fugue or Wagnerian opera.  So he hauls out Greek mythology
with all the unseemly romantic and family relationships of its gods
and goddesses (I love the image of the dismembered Venus in the
hallway); and he throws in Arthurian legend (recall Arthur's
illegitimacy, and Sir Launcelot's adulterous affair with Arthur's
wife Guinivere; I picture Windom Earle as an Arthur gone mad, and
Cooper as the well-meaning but tragically flawed Launcelot); and he
throws in Stanley Kubrick movies like "The Shining," where a
murderous father is chasing his wife and son (shouting "Redrum") down
empty hallways, driven by adulterous spectres from the past.

The result is one big vat of symbolic stew, tasty but incoherent.

The lodges thing, IMHO, seems to say that in the real world these
conflicting aspects of love are mixed together, making love both
blissful and hellish, but in the occult world souls divide, sides are
taken, as first the "dark side" (a la Star Wars) of a soul drops out
in the Black Lodge, then the good moves toward the light of the White
Lodge.

The planets symbolize this split; when the two conjoin one can pass
between this world (where life, because of love and passion, is
constantly conjoining opposites) and the otherworld (whatever it is).
So I like the idea proposed that the checkerboard tile indicates that
Black and White Lodges are overlapping.

Or something like that...who the hell knows, anyway?  In the end, I
think the plot and symbolism of TP are incidental; sometimes they
work, sometimes they don't.  If you want plot you're better off with
afternoon soaps.  What you really have to savor in Twin Peaks are the
brilliant characterizations and powerful moods.  The bank scene was
pure genius.

BTW, Marvin Kitman, in a New York Newsday column Monday trashing TP,
said, "For you die-hards, incidentally, there's a 'Twin Peaks: The
Movie' coming along.  My sources say it goes back to the early glory
days of Laura Palmer live."  That should complicate matters.:)

the last 5 minutes astronut@athena.mit.edu (Robert M Sanner) 1991-06-12 16:56
several people have pointed out that the last 2 episodes were in
the can long before the final decision to cancel TP; after that, at most
minor changes were made to the existing footage.

keeping that in mind, it seems to me that the entire finale, MINUS
the last five minutes (BoB+CooP) makes a fairly normal (for TP) season 
finale--this leaves us with cooper+annie laying on the grass and multiple 
other fates undecided.

seems to me possible that the ONLY change that was made was the
addition of the Bob in Coop ending.

it would be a fascinating look into Lynch's mind to know what, if
anything, changed when he found the show would be cancelled.

     Hmm...  "Fall Out" as a Rorscharch (sp!) test.  What a concept!
One could make the case that the episode itself has no more meaning
than an inkblot on a piece of cardboard, and that the meaning is
solely in the interpretation of the viewer!
     I'm not going to argue this case, but it's an interesting

     It truly is a hodge-podge.  If you see the whole series a
couple of times through and think a lot about it, you'll be able to
make some sense out of it-- but probably not the same sense hundreds
of other Prisoner fans have made of it, and almost certainly not the
same sense PMcG intended.  :-)

Hmm, we're definitely talking about the same symbol.  I can't make out any
wavy interface between the black and white portions on my screenshot, but
then I can't make out anything that looks like turned up sides either.
Guess I'll have to dig out the Access Guide.  I suppose the symbol could
be a pool with oil over water or somesuch.  Still looks suggestive of the
Black and White Lodges to me, though.

I see the wavy line with dots above the circle, and I can understand how
you'd interpret it as a curtain.  Not that it necessarily disqualifies
the interpretation, but the line that makes up that wave extends on beyond
the wavy portion, and looks like any of the other terrain and river
demarcations.  And other, very similar wavy line segments appear at various
places around the map (e.g., immediately to the left of the crab-shaped
set of lines at the bottom, and again further left after a near vertical
straight line), though no others have the dots.

Dunno... for the time being (as if it really matters) I'll stick with my
interpretation of the black & white symbol as the location/door-to the
Black & White Lodges.

I'm glad we get to carry on these discussions here!  I have been feeling
profoundly sad since the show ended... between the (at least temporary)
possession of Coop by BOB story element, and the all to real (at least
temporary) end of the show, I've been in a real funk.  These discussions
help!

Planet Gossip idddev@well.sf.ca.us (Innovative Data Design) 1991-06-12 17:59
There's been a lot of loose talk about planetary conjunctions. Just so you
know, in our world, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are very close together in 
the evening sky. I've been watching them draw together for months (look, 
not only am I a needs-a-life Twin Peaks feeb, I'm an astronomy feeb too).
 
Saturn, according to my Casio "Cosmo Phase" watch, is just about opposite 
Jupiter (and Venus and Mars) right now: the two big planets are as far apart 
as they can be.

Uh, Joe, shut off the flamethrower. At the beginning of the very same message
you replied to, I stated the same thing you did - that the shows had been
filmed before the cancellation. The last statment (and the one that seemed
to spark the flame) was was a completely hypothetical note to lead in to other

to the series. I probably should have rephrased the second line of the para-

Don't get me wrong! I'm certainly not against love (really!) and I
certainly think that Coop deserved his chance for romance, but *I* thought
that scene looked really out of place. (Perhaps watching every episode of the
show in 2 days can take its toll.) Sorry that my message represented a tiny

On a second watching I kept track of this.  If you take the statue as
indicating WHICH room Cooper is in (no statue by the entrance to the
first -- called the "Waiting Room" by the LMFAP -- and a statue by the
entrance to the second room), then Cooper moves back and forth between
the 1st and 2nd rooms several times.*

Then... Laura reappears with glassy eyes and starts screaming.
Flashes of Windom Earle's face are alternated with hers.  I take this
to mean that WE is now controlling what Cooper sees.

After this scene, we never see the statue again, the logical
conclusion being that either Cooper keeps entering the same room (the 1st)
over and over again, or he is running between the 1st room and a
doppelganger ("the wrong room") 1st room.


*the only divergence from consistent spatial relationships is when
Cooper looks in the 2nd room for the first time.  The furniture is in
the corner closest to him.  Subsequently, it is in the far corner.

It seems to me the two are the same.  "Entering" a Lodge consists
of a change in one's perceptive faculties.  I.e. the Lodges are not *places*;
they are right here and it's only a change inside you that lets you
experience them while the ordinary world seems to have disappeared.
Presumably for a person who is sufficiently "developed" this change
in perception can be effected by an act of will.  "Normal" people
and "normal" occult beings cannot do that unless the configuration
of some "ambient" energies makes such a change of perception particularly
easy (this happens when Jupiter and Saturn meet).

Yes, the shadow self of Cooper is "out".  That is -- due to his
moment of weakness -- his "psychic" energies have reoriented themselves
in a super-nasty way.  The bad stuff now has a "majority vote" among
the forces of his soul.

Something like that.

The question of "but where did their material bodies go while
in the 'waiting room'?" is not very important.  Maybe people who are
near are also affected by some kind of light trance.

<Did we ever see the White Lodge? Are we, indeed, sure that there is one?
<Is the Waiting Room part of either lodge? Did Laura lose her battle and
<become part of the Black Lodge?

I suppose when you are in the waiting room (and I am inclined
to think we haven't seen the Lodges themselves yet) -- or when you
are in the equivalent state of consciousness -- you are able to see
the good and bad components as *separate beings*, not unified as usual.
It is only a mode of perception that doesn't necessarily correspond
to an "objective truth".  So Laura is one Laura but she is manifest
as two beings -- while Coop/whoever is in that state.  Coop himself
becomes two Coops (or so it seems to him) and while in this state
the two sides can fight for the territory.

<So, we never did get to see Diane... and the scene with Gordon from the

That scene was from several episodes ago.

<This was clearly one of the bloodiest shows I've seen made for primetime.

Seems like Bob's favorite wound.

As his other (negative) self.

Looked like her.

<It seems that the dream sequence from earlier in the series does indeed

See above.

<When did Ronette get better?

I don't know, what difference does it make?

I thought this was funny, like Roger Ebert's "predictable tree"

<How did Coop know exactly when she'd show up at the sherrif's office?

He made an appointment with her.

I'm for maintaining the status quo in this instance.  TP is as much
Mark Frost's creation as David Lynch, and it's TP I'm interested in,
not Lynch as such.  I *definitely* don't favor watering down a.t.t-p
with discussions of Katherine Dunn or whoever.  No reason that that
can't happen in rec.arts.books, or alt.weird-horrible-sublime, or
whatever.  

But leave this group alone.  There's no pressing need for
change--alt.tv.prisoner doesn't seem to be worried--so why change?  If
there's a need for another group, create that too.  Let a thousand
flowers bloom.

While I don't agree with everything Hi Tech Howie had to say in this posting,
I think the above statements are right on.  Note: I added the quotes around
the word physical, since I'd rather reserve the unquoted use of that word
to describe the physical world we all experience.

I've been thinking about this for a little while, and it seems as if Lynch
may have set himself up with a really nice cinematic device here.  It'll
be interesting to see if he uses it this way (assuming, oh please goddess,
he gets a chance to):  Instead of a choice between Cooper being possessed,
fighting for his soul strictly within his physical body, and his doppelganger
being out in the physical world while he is trapped in the Black Lodge,
perhaps both are true.  That is, if the events that transpire in the
Lodges are dream-like manifestations of the psychological/spiritual events
transpiring in the physical realm, then Lynch could produce a film where
all the internal struggles of his protagonist could be given "physical"
form.  Where more traditional movies are limited to troubled facial
expressions or Dr. Strangelove-style left-hand-fighting-the-right-hand
methods for expressing internal conflict, the Twin Peaks movie (PLEASE!)
could carry on two interwoven storylines/story-settings.  So, when Dale
is trying to fight back in the physical world, and, say, is experiencing
a brief period of success against BOB, we could cut to scenes of good-Dale
temporarily overcoming bad-Dale in the Lodge/Red-Room environment.  And
vice versa.

For this to be exciting, the Lodge environment would have to be expanded
from just the Red Room, I think, or even the most dedicated TP fans (myself
included) would begin to suffer from claustrophobia and boredom.  But
since the whole Lodge reality has been mulching in Lynch's mental garden
of earthly delights for some time now, I'd like to see his expanded vision
of the Lodges.  (I must confess, I had hopes that we would get some of this
in the Season Finale.)

Since Major Briggs and Annie could conceivably enter the Lodges directly to
try to help Dale at that level, while Truman, Hawk, Andy and Albert try to
contain the possessed Dale's carnage in the physical realm (with, possibly,
the Log Lady able to occasionally communicate messages between the realms),
we could witness quite an epic struggle for self preservation and self
control by Dale from two entirely different vantage points, using two
entirely distinct metaphors.

Ah well, just a thought...

Last Twin Peaks Episode (maybe) jmh@aal.itd.umich.edu (Jeffrey M. Hansen) 1991-06-12 19:08
Spoilers for 6/10 TP episode.

So, is Cooper's doppelganger on the loose, while Dale is trapped in
the Black Lodge or has Bob inhabited him?  I'm more inclined to the
former, but there are problems with the theory.  If Dale is in the
Black Lodge, why would Laura say they would meet in 25 years?  They're
drinking thick black coffee together!  That would lead to Bob/Dale
being outside the Lodge, and can't return until Jupiter and Saturn
realign (25 years).

What's the consensus on the two red-curtained rooms?  Was one the
Black Lodge, the other the White?  I think it was a succession of
rooms leading farther and farther into the Black Lodge.  Cooper never
made it to the White Lodge because he failed in his confrontation with
his evil-self/Bob (he tried to run away).

Why was Leland in the Black Lodge (well, in the hall)?  It had to be
the "good" Leland--he didn't have the white hair, and told Cooper he
didn't do anything wrong (I forget the exact quote).  When Leland died
in the jail cell, Cooper told him to follow the white light,
presumably to heaven.

As always, the answers leave you with more questions.  Classic Twin
Peaks.  I thought the first 30-45 minutes were rushed, like they were
trying to resolve some of the lesser plot lines.  I found it in stark
contrast to previous Peaks, where you had the slow-motion-nightmare
pace.  The last hour was excellent.  Keep eating that cherry pie!

      A series of sudden images, as if illuminated by a strobe light with
      darkness in between:
Cooper in a chair, the dwarf
Laura's mother running downstairs [from 1000]
BOB at foot of Laura's bed
A bloody cloth [in the railroad car?]
Laura dead
BOB crouched at Laura's bed  [Sarah's vision]
      The One-Armed Man:
Through the darkness of future past,
The magician longs to see
One..chants...out..between two worlds...
Fire...walk with me.
We lived among the people -- I think you say convenience store?
We lived above it.  I mean it like it is, as it sounds.  I too
have been touched by the devilish one; tattoo on the left shoulder.
Ah, but when I saw the face of God, I was changed.  I took the
entire arm off.  My name is Mike.  His name is BOB.
      BOB, crouched in some room full of clutter (tantalizingly
      unrecognizable metal objects) like an attic or basement.  He looks
      around and says:
Mike?  Mike?  Can you hear me?  [he turns to look at the camera]
Catch you with my death bag!
You may think I've gone insane, but I promise I *will* kill again!
      A small mound of dirt with a gold necklace on it, surrounded by a
      ring of candles.  A puff of wind; the candles blow out.
      An older Agent Cooper (in his 50s or so) is sitting in a red-carpeted, 
      red-curtained lounge.  Laura Palmer is sitting a few chairs away from
      him, dressed in a slinky black dress and looking very elegant.  There 
      is a strange scraping noise - a distorted silhouette of a person,
      backlit against a doorway -- it seems to be shuddering somehow -- the 
      scraping noise gets faster.  Suddenly the distorted silhouette turns
      around.  It's The Little Man From Another Place.  The scraping sound
      was him rubbing his palms together.  He's got a cheerful, wide smile,
      and he says (in twisted, reversed backwards English):
Let's rock!
      He sits in one of the chairs.  There is a pause.  A black shadow drifts
      slowly over the red curtains, over their heads. Laura puts one finger
      next to her nose, looking significantly at Cooper.  Then:
      LMFAP: [to Cooper]  I've got good news.  That gum you like is going to 
come back in style.  [noticing Cooper staring at Laura]  She's my
cousin.  But, doesn't she look almost exactly like Laura Palmer?
      Cooper: [to LMFAP]  But she is Laura Palmer.
[to Laura]  Are you Laura Palmer?
      Laura: [arching her back weirdly]  I feel like I know her,
 but sometimes my arms bend back.
      LMFAP: She's filled with secrets.  Where we're from, the birds sing a 
pretty song, and there's always music in the air.
      Slow jazz music begins to play.  The Little Man From Another Place
      stands and starts a jerky dance.  Laura stands, crosses to Cooper,
      kisses him, and whispers something in his ear. 
      -- Cooper jerks awake, with his special Cooper Cowlick pointing straight
 up.  He calls Truman and says he knows who killed Laura Palmer -- 
 but it can wait till morning.

   7:15 am (Cooper to Diane)
   -- Cooper meets with Audrey over breakfast and chat about OEJ and Laura.
      He then tells Truman and Lucy about his dream. [In actuality, he
      describes the ending to the European version]:
      "Harry... you were there. Lucy, so were you.  In my dream, Sarah Palmer
      has a vision of her daughter's killer.  Deputy Hawk sketched his
      picture.  I got a phone call from a one-armed man named Mike. The
      killer's name was BOB.... They lived above a convenience store.  They had
      a tatoo: Fire, Walk With Me.  Mike couldn't stand the killing anymore,
      so he cut off his arm.  BOB vowed to kill again, so Mike shot him....
      Suddenly it was 25 years later.  I was old, sitting in a red
      room.  There was a midget in a red suit and a beautiful woman.  The
      little man told me that my favorite gum was coming back into style and
      didn't his cousin look exactly like Laura Palmer, which she did....
      She's filled with secrets; sometimes her arms bend back; where she's
      from, the birds sing a pretty song, and there's always music in the air.
      The midget did a dance, Laura kissed me, and she whispered the name of
      the killer in my ear."
      He can't remember the killer's name.
   -- Fight at the morgue - Ben and Doc Hayward won't let Albert continue with
      his autopsy
      Albert: Mr. Horne, I realize that your position in this fair
community pretty well guarantees venality, insincerity, and a certain
        irritating manner of expressing yourself.  Stupidity, however, is not
        a necessarily inherent trait.  Therefore, please listen closely - you
        can have a funeral any old time.  You dig a hole, you plant a coffin.
        I, however, cannot perform these tests next year, next month, next
        week or tomorrow - I must perform them now.  <drill noise--VEEP
        VEEP!> I've got a lot of cutting and pasting to do, gentlemen, so
        why don't you please return to your porch rockers and resume whittling.

take so much of sweet.  Hey, remember that mystery man I told you
about?  Well, if I tell you his name then you're gonna be in trouble.

      C: "Where do you come from?"

Mairzy doats and dozy doats
and little lambzy divy.
A kiddly divy, too, wooden shoe?
Now if the words sounds queer,
and funny to your ear,
a little bit jumbled and jivy,
Sing:

and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid'll eat ivy, too, wouldn't you?

      steps on a board and walks like a chicken, underneath are a pair of
      Circle Brand boots and cocaine.
      A: And it's another great moment in law enforcement history.
   -- Maddy meets with Donna at the RR and gives her Laura's shades that she
      wanted and breaks her own.  They agree to "keep it quiet."

 like that and you'll go crazy.

      the Meals on Wheels.  The log lady spits out her gum.
   -- Albert examines Cooper: "You were shot by a right handed person 5 foot

 Sometimes, you just get lucky.

      James in his cell.

   -- Cooper has Andy and Lucy look through the back issues of the last three
      years of Fleshworld for Teresa Banks.

      a company that preys on human weaknesses.
   -- Hayward examines Jacoby.  Cooper and Truman arrive.  Cooper confronts
      Jacoby with the locket on a thong: I don't want any baloney, magic

      saw and followed James and Donna and dug up the locket.
      J: Laura was, was in fact, no she was living a double life.  Two people.
 Yeah, but then, then when I saw her the last time, she
 I dunno, she seemed to've reached a kind of peace herself.  Now I
 believe that what she in fact, she had arrived at was the decision
 to end her life.
      T: Are you saying Laura wanted to die?
      C: Laura Palmer did not commit suicide.
      J: No, but maybe she allowed herself to be killed.
      Jacoby smelled scorched engine oil the night before.
   -- Bobby visits Shelly, brings her flowers

      Truman, to see this kind of investigative genius at work is just a
      real treat for me.
      They meet Ed in the hall.
      Ed: I never believed in fate, Agent Cooper.  Always felt, you make your
  own way, you take care of your own, you pick up after yourself.

      Cooper: Albert, I would like to speak to Ed.

   -- Bobby runs into his father at the RR:
      MB: "Bobby, may I share something with you?"
      BB: "Okay."
      MB: "A vision I had in my sleep last night, as distinguished from a
dream, which is mere sorting and cataloguing of the day's events by
the subconscious.  This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain
stream, the mind revealing itself to itself.  In my vision, I was on
        the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion.
There seemed to emanate from it a light from within, this gleaming,
radiant marble.  I'd known this place.  I had in fact been
born and raised there.  This was my first return.  A reunion with the
deepest well-springs of my being.  Wandering about, I noticed happily
that the house had been immaculately maintained.  There'd been added
a number of additional rooms, but in a way that blended so seamlessly
with the original construction, one would never detect any difference.
Returning to the house's grand foyer, there came a knock at the door.
My son was standing there.  He was happy and carefree, clearly living
a life of deep harmony and joy.  We embraced, a warm and loving
embrace, nothing withheld.  We were, in this moment, one.  My vision
        ended and I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and
confidence in you and your future.  That was my vision of you.  I'm
so glad to have had this opportunity to share it with you.  I wish
you nothing but the best in all things."
      BB: "Thank you Dad."
      Bobby appears moved.  Hank asks Briggs how the pie was and salutes him.
   -- Norma won't talk about Shelly and Bobby recognizes Hank as he who
      shot Leo.
   -- Cooper and Albert tell their theory of what happened on 2/23:
C: The night Laura Palmer was killed, it appears she made 2
   appointments.  In her diary, she had written, "Nervous about
   meeting J. tonight."  I now believe this was a refernce to James
   Hurley.  She was nervous because she planned to tell him she
   didn't want to see him anymore.  Before she snuck out of the
   house, she received a phone call.
A: We believe it was Leo Johnson making a second appointment
   for some time later that night.
C: Laura met James, was with him until 12:30 when, at the intersection
   of 21 and Sparkwood, she jumped from the bike and ran into
   the woods.  We believe that it was there that she met up with
   Jacques Renault, Leo Johnson and Ronette Pulaski.  Together
   they drove to the foot of the trail leading to Jacques' cabin.
   They climbed the trail, they were heard passing the cabin of
   the Log Lady.  They reached Jacques Renault's cabin at approximately
   1 am.  Drugs and alcohgol were consumed.  Laura was tied up
   and had sexual relations with both Leo and Jacques.  Waldo the
   bird was let out of his cage and attacked Laura.  Leo and
   Jacques fought.  Jacques went outside and passed out.  When he
   came to, Leo and the girls were gone.  We believe Leo hiked
   back down to his Corvette alone, leaving the girls behind.
A: The reason being, there was a third man.
C: Deputy Hawk found evidence of a third man outside the window
   of Jacques' cabin.
A: The third man took Laura and Ronette to the train car, where
   they were tied up.  Laura for the 2nd time, Ronette for the 1st.
C: Using a blunt object, the killer hit Ronette and knocked her
   unconscious.  He must've been so intent on killing Laura, he
   didn't realize Ronette regained consciousness and escaped.
A: He either didn't know or he didn't care. He made a small mound
   of dirt and put the half heart necklace of Laura's on top.  He
   then placed a small cut out letter R under the nail of her
   left ring finger.  You'll recall he placed the letter T under
   the fingernail of Teresa Banks.  He, uh, left a note written in
   blood, "Fire, walk with me."
C: Here's the interesting thing.  The blood on the note was tested.
   It doesn't match Leo's, Jacques', Laura's or Ronette's.
A: So we surmise the killer wrote the note in his own blood.  The
   rare type, AB negative.  The towel that Deputy Hawk found five
   miles down the tracks was soaked in blood of that type.  He
   also found, near the towel, scraps of faded paper.
C: The scraps may have been left by the killer.  They'll be sent
   back to Washington DC for testing.
{Andy cries}
A: I know, Andy, I know, I know, I know.  It's what we call a real
   three hanky crime.
Andy: Albert Rosenfeld.  I don't like the way you talk smart about
      Sherrif Truman or anybody.  You just shut your mouth! {Exits}
C: Laura Palmer is dead.  Jacques Renault is dead.  Ronette
   Pulaski and Leo Johnson are in comas.  Waldo the bird is dead.
   This leaves only the third man.
   -- Truman gives Pete a ride home. P: This smoke inhalation is nasty
      business.  I feel like somebody taped my lips to the tailpipe
      of a bus.
      Josie left a note; she went to Seattle, she goes shopping every 3
      months.  An Asian man calls, asking for her, then he makes a collect
      call to Hong Kong.
   -- Ben and Jerry meet with Hank.  Hank confirms he put Catherine in the mill
      and they hope to frame the arson on her and Leo.
   -- Audrey meets with Blackie, she's not pleased with her not satisfying the

   Night
   -- Donna calls Norma about taking over Laura's Meals on Wheels route.
      She'll use the RR station wagon.
   -- At the Hayward Supper Club, Gersten plays the piano and Harriet
      recites a poem:
        "It was Laura
        And I saw her glowing.
        In the dark woods,
        I saw her smiling.
        We were crying
        And I saw her laughing.
        In our sadness,
        I saw her dancing.
        It was Laura
        Living in my dreams.
        It was Laura.
        The glow was life.
        Her smile was to say
        It was all right to cry.
        The woods was our sadness.
        The dance was her calling.
        It was Laura
        And she came to kiss me goodbye."
      Donna sits on her hands. Leland sings "Get Happy" and collapses.

   11:55 pm (Cooper to Diane)
   -- Cooper goes to bed.  C to D: I'm dog tired.  A man can only go long
without submitting to a period of rest.  As we know from experiments
conducted on American GI's during the Korean War, sleep deprivation
is a one way ticket to temporary psychosis.  And I'm working on a
3 day jag.
   -- Audrey prays for Cooper
   -- The Giant returns:
      G: "Sorry to wake you."
      C: "I'm not dreaming."
      G: "I forgot to tell you something."
      C: "You were right about the smiling bag."
      G: "The things I tell you will not be wrong.  Better to listen then to
talk."
      C: "I believe you."
      G: "Don't search for all the answers at once.  A path is formed by
laying one stone at a time.  One person saw the third man.  Three have
seen him, yes.  But not his body.  One only.  Known to you.  Ready now
        to talk.  One more thing: you forgot something."
      C: "What?"
      { Flash of green gets zapped into Coop. He lies alone in the dark,
      blinking.  }
   -- Ronnette has a vision of BOB and Laura

   Morning
   -- Cooper talks to Albert about Tibet over breakfast:
      C: Buddhist tradition first came to the land of snow in the fifth
century AD.  The first Tibetan came to be touched by the Dharma was
King Hathatha Rignamputsan.  He and succeeding generations came to be
collectively called the Happy Generations.  Now some historians place
them in the Water Snake Year, two-thirteen AD; others in the year
of the water ox 173 AD.  Amazing isn't it?  The Happy Generations.
      A: Agent Cooper, I am thrilled to pieces that the Dharama came to King
Hohoho, I really am, but right now I am trying hard to focus on the
 more immediate problems of our own century right in Twin Peaks.
      C: Albert, you'd be surprised at the connection between the two.

   -- Andy fights scotch tape at the RR.  The log lady enters and tells the

      Listen to me, Lucy Moran, you just listen.  When the Takoma
      Sperm Bank was looking for donors, naturally I applied.  It's my civic
      duty and I like whales.  A routine physical examination revealed that
      I'm sterile.  Sure I thought it meant I didn't have to take a
      bath, but the doctors told me the truth.  They told me I can't have
      babies.  So what I wanna know now is why are you having one and how?

      BRIGGS: I have a message for you.
      COOPER: From whom?
      BRIGGS: I'm not at liberty to reveal the nature of my work.  This
secrecy pains me from time to time.  Any bureaucracy that
functions in secret inevitably lends itself to corruption.

          night after night.
      C:  The Great Northern Hotel!

February 22.  Last night I had the strangest dream. I was in a
red room with a small man, dressed in red, and an old man
sitting in a chair.  I tried to talk to him.  I wanted to tell
him who BOB is, because I thought he could help me.  But my
words came out slow and odd.  It was frustrating trying to talk.
I got up and walked to the old man.  Then I leaned over and
whispered the secret in his ear.
Somebody has to stop BOB.  BOB's only afraid of one man.  He
told me once.  A man named Mike.  I wonder if this was Mike in
my dream.  Even if it was only a dream, I hope he heard me.  No
one in the real world would believe me.
February 23.  Tonight is the night that I die.  I know I have
to because it's the only way to keep BOB away from me.  The
only way to tear him out from inside.  I know he wants me.  I
can feel his fire.  But if I die he can't hurt me anymore.

   -- At the Roadhouse, Ben eats nuts.  Cooper and Truman are at the bar.
      Truman brings Leland, Ed arrives and they clear the room.  Hawk brings
      Bobby and Leo.  Major Briggs brings the waiter, who gives Cooper a
      stick of gum.  Leland: "I know that gum.  That's my most favorite gum
      in the world."  Cooper remembers: Laura: "My father killed me."  The
      Giant gives Cooper his ring back.
   
   3:55 (clock on wall)
   -- Cooper and Truman trick Leland into a cell.  He freaks.
   -- At gunpoint, Leland is cuffed and read his rights.  Leland/BOB
      confesses to killing Laura and Maddy.  He mentions Pittsburgh and
      Cooper is noticeably shaken.

   Early morning
   -- Dick and Andy listen to Lucy.  Dick smokes.
   -- Cooper tells his story of how the answer was staring him in the
      face all this time - Leland's dancing, grey hair, Robertson, the
      letters, the secret diary.  Leland recites Mike's poem and BOB's
      response.  The sprinklers go off and Leland rams his head into the door.
      <Cooper, Albert, and Truman burst into the room. The sprinkler system
      has gone off and water is pouring over them all>
      Cooper: Call an ambulence! <Cooper kneels next to Leland and cradles
Leland's head in his lap.  For the rest of the scene he strokes
Leland's hair and face, comforting him.>
      Leland: Oh God!  Laura!  I killed her.  Oh my God, I killed my daughter.
I didn't know.  Forgive me.  Oh God.  I was just a boy.  I saw him
in my dream.  He said he wanted to play.  He opened me and I
invited him and he came inside me.  When he was inside, I
didn't know.  When he was gone, I couldn't remember.  He made me
do things.  Terrible things.  He said he wanted lives.  He wanted
others, others that they could use, like they used me.
      Cooper: Like Laura.
      Leland: They wanted her.  But she was strong.  She fought.  She wouldn't
let him in.  Oh God.  They had me kill that girl, Teresa.  And
they said if I didn't give them Laura, they'd have me kill
her, too.
      Cooper: But she wouldn't let them in.
      Leland: They said she'd die before she'd let them.  Then they made me
kill her.  Oh God, have mercy on me.  What have I done?  What
have I done?  Oh God.  I love her.  I love her with all my heart.
My angel, forgive me.
      <Cooper looks to Albert, who shakes his head -- apparently Leland
      isn't going to live>
      Cooper: Leland.  Leland, the time has come for you to seek the path.
Your soul has set you face to face with the clear light and
you are now about to experience it in its reality.  Wherein all
things are like the void and cloudless sky and the naked
spotless intellect is like a transparent vacuum, without
circumference or center.  Leland, in this moment, know yourself
and abide in that state.  Look to the light, Leland.  Find the
light. 
      Leland: I see it.
      Cooper: Into the light, Leland.  Into the light.
      Leland: I see... Her.  She's there.
      Cooper: Into the light, Leland.
      Leland: She's beautiful.
      Cooper: Into the light.
      Leland: Laura?
      Cooper: Don't be afraid.
      <Leland dies. Wordlessly Cooper pushes his own hair back and looks up.
      The sprinklers shut off>

      Leland's final moments
   -- Leland's wake.  Dr. Jacoby's back from Hawaii.  Mayor Dwayne Milford
      pulls his brother Dougie's ear.  Dougie owns the newspaper and is

   -- Bobby puts on Leo's clothes and goes to see Ben

      directed her to the summer cabin on Pearl Lakes.  There appears to
      be an owl-shaped smudge on her cheek.
   -- Dick talks to Lucy while she's replacing ceiling light bulbs.  Andy
      offers to be friends.
   -- Cooper says goodbye to Truman, who gives him a green butt skunk hook
      and a Bookhouse Boy patch.  He says goodbye to Hawk, Andy and Lucy,
      when Roger Hardy arrives with a mountie and tells Cooper he has been
      suspended from the FBI.
   -- Audrey gets Bobby in to see Ben, but gets kicked out.  They go to
      get ice cream. B: Cup or cone? A: Mmmm...cone. I like to lick.
   -- Roger and the mountie question Cooper, who surrenders his gun and
      badge.  They only knew of two deaths, and Cooper didn't know about
      Battis.  Truman stands up for Cooper.
   -- Nadine Butler tries out for cheerleading
   -- Shelly brushes Leo's teeth.  Bobby calls, Leo moves.

   Night

      he'll put some of the stolen cocaine in Cooper's car
   -- Josie, injured, returns to Truman's place
   -- Cooper and Briggs around a campfire:
      COOPER: At the time I did what I thought was right.  I must now face
the consequences.
      BRIGGS: You can do no more.
      (Cooper and Major Briggs, roasting marshmallows over a campfire.)
      COOPER: You know, Major, I find myself thinking a lot about BOB.
If he truly exists.
      BRIGGS: Yes, I've pondered that same question continuously since this
horror was revealed.
      COOPER:I try to imagine him out there, incarnate, looking for
another victim to inhabit.
      BRIGGS:There are powerful forces of evil in the world.  It is some
men's fate to face great darkness.  We each choose how to react.
If the choice is fear, then we become vulnerable to darkness.
There are ways to resist.  You, sir, were blessed with certain
gifts.  In this respect, you are not alone.  Have you ever heard
of the White Lodge?
      COOPER: The White Lodge.  No, I don't believe I have.
      (Briggs appears to ponder what he should say about this.)
      (Angle on the woods from the point of view of some unknown entity,
      moving through the woods.)
      COOPER:Major, I'm going to take a moment here.  I feel the call of
        nature.  There's nothing quite like urinating out in the open air.  I
look forward to hearing more about this White Lodge.
(Cooper moves off into the woods. Major Briggs laughs, gives
the departing Cooper a "thumb's-up".)
When I return.  From my journey.
      (Lingering on Briggs, who looks off in the direction of Cooper's
      exit with a speculative expression.  An owl hoots.  Major Briggs looks
      up, alarmed.)
      (Cooper urinating in the woods.  An owl hoots in the tree above him.
      Cooper watches the owl.  Suddenly a brilliant white light appears
      behind him.  Cooper turns toward the light.)
      (Angle on Briggs, bathed in blinding white light.)
      BRIGGS:COOPER!  COOPER!
      (A robed figure appears in the light, backlit.  No features are visible.)
      (Cooper dashes through the woods to the camp site.  The Major is gone.)
      COOPER: Major Briggs?  MAJOR?
      (Cooper looks at the light.  It seems to be receding into the woods.
      Cooper runs toward it.  He reaches the top of a small hill and freezes,
      looking into the light.  The light blinks out.)

   Morning

   -- Mrs. Briggs talks to Cooper and Truman about her husband's disappearence.

worlds.
      COOPER: Tell me more.
      HAWK: My people believe that the White Lodge is a place where the
spirits that rule man and nature here reside.
      TRUMAN: Local legend.  Goes way back.
      HAWK: There is also a legend of a place called the Black Lodge...
the shadow-self of the White Lodge.  The legend says that
every spirit must pass through there on the way to perfection.
There, you will meet your own shadow-self.  My people call
it "The Dweller on the Threshhold." 
      COOPER: "The Dweller on the Threshhold..."
      HAWK: But it is said, if you confront the Black Lodge with imperfect
courage, it will utterly annihilate your soul.
   -- Dennis arrives. He and Cooper worked together in Oakland.  An RCMP
      officer says he stole drugs.
   -- Nadine leg presses 600 lbs.
   -- Josie tells Truman about Eckhardt. He took her off the streets in Hong
      Kong at 16 and taught her about life and business. She was afraid for her
      life when she met Andrew, a business partner. She says she believes
      Eckhardt is responsible for Andrew's death. She escaped from the airport
      at Seattle.
   -- Roger has pie at the RR (story on Leland in his paper)

      Northern.  Hank arrives: "Ben, I have had an absolutely killer schedule."
      Ben wants to rearrange furniture.  Hank tells him OEJ has been taken
      over.  Ben makes shadow figures.
   -- Cooper gets an envelope from Windom Earle.  P to Q4.
      "Of course, you couldn't help but take note of my emphatically
      traditional opening.  I must say, your responding move was nothing
      if not reflective of your predilection for the tidy and fastidious.
      See how my response to you begins to lead us towards a classical
      confrontation?  But there's doubt in your mind: what are my true
      intentions?  How will you answer this time?  Hobgoblins, Dale...
      consistency...predictability, giving rise to patterns.  We both
      know only too well how these patterns leave you vulnerable to
      attack.  You with your wounds, I with mine, let me paint you a
      picture: my knights will skirmish, lanes of power and influence
      will open through my bishops and rooks, pawns will naturally
      be forfeit.  I'm even prepared to sacrifice my queen because,
      I assure you, dear Dale, my goal will be attained at any cost;
      the king must die!"

   Morning
   -- Bobby tries again to blackmail Ben, who's acting too weird for it to
      take.  B: "You know what you need in this life? Balance, distance,
      symmetry."  He's stacked his furniture.  Eventually he hires Bobby to spy 
      on Hank; Bobby is thrilled.
   -- Cooper is discussing houses with a real estate agent (Irene).  A coin
      flip leads him to like Dead Dog Farm, an estate with a mysterious past
      where no one stays for long.
   -- Andy, Dick and Lucy visit with Nickie's case worker.  Nickie is an orphan
      who has been through many foster homes, and is the victim of "persistent
      random misfortune." Truman breaks up the meeting calling Andy to an
      emergency at the Great Northern.
   -- Truman, Doc Hayward and Andy investigate Dougie Milford, dead in his
      hotel bed.  Dwayne comes in and grieves, accusing the wife of murder by
      sex.  Andy doesn't cry.  "My Secret Life" by Chris Gerrity is found
      on the bed. 
   -- In the hallway, Hawk is talking/flirting with the widow.  H: "When
      something big goes down, I'm the man."

   10:10 pm (clock on wall)
   -- Nadine has joined the wrestling team and takes district champion Mike in
      one fall while asking him out
   -- Mike complains to Donna about Nadine.
   -- James meets Malcolm Sloan - Evelyn Marsh's brother, Jeffrey Marsh's
      driver.  He says Marsh abuses Evelyn.  Once a fortnight she breaks one
      of his things.
   -- At Dead Dog Farm, Cooper notices some tire tracks: "A Jeep, a four-
      wheeler and a luxury sedan."  In the house he deduces a meeting took
      place in the past few hours.  He finds baby laxative and cocaine dust.
   -- Dick fixes a flat (reading the instructions) while Nicky is irritating.
      While Nicky is not touching the car and facing the other way, the car
      falls off the jack.  Nicky panics and runs to hug Dick (who is unhurt).

   Day
   -- Cooper comes to tell Truman about Dead Dog Farm, but instead visits
      with Air Force Colonel Rilly investigating Major Briggs.  Briggs is a
      great pilot.  "The owls are not what they seem" was broadcast from
      the woods, not deep space -- maybe from the White Lodge ("That's
      classified").  Cooper mentions seeing an owl before Briggs disappeared.
   -- James and Evelyn flirt and kiss.  James encourages her to leave her
      husband but she refuses.  When Jeffrey comes home she runs to greet him.
   -- Bobby, returning to Ben's office with photos, sees Audrey who flirts
      with him but doesn't kiss him.  Audrey goes to her secret listening
      place.
   -- Ben, who is working on a civil war model ("Gettysburg, day 1"), accepts
      the photos from Bobby and gives him a raise.  Audrey eavesdrops.
   -- Pete and Catherine enjoy a romantic meal, served by Josie in a maid
      outfit.  Pete is bothered by Catherine's treatment of Josie, but is
      having too much fun to make an issue of it.
   -- Cooper brings Diane up to date:
      "Diane, I'm holding in my hand a nationally distributed newspaper.  My
      opening move [P to Q4] responding to Windom Earle's opening move was
      printed in the personals column as per my instructions, but I have
      already received his response to this yesterday.  He anticipated my
      response to his opening move perfectly.  He's toying with me, Diane.
      I wonder where he is and what he's planning."
      Audrey knocks and offers Cooper Bobby's photos she has just stolen from
      her father's office.  Cooper identifies them as Hank, Ernie, Jean Renault
      and the mountie, meeting at Dead Dog Farm.  Denise comes in, and Audrey
      kisses Cooper on her way out.  Cooper briefs Denise.
      D: I may wear a dress but I still put on my panties one leg at a time,
 if you know what I mean.
      Cooper: Not really...

   Night
   -- At the RR, Ed looks depressed, prompting Norma to suggest they can still
      be friends and to take his hand, all this secretly witnessed by Hank,
      sporting a 3:4 domino.
   -- Dick tells Andy he thinks Nicky is the devil
   -- In Truman's office, Dwayne continues to accuse Lana of murder.  Doc says
      it was a natural heart attack.
   -- In the hallway, all the men watch Lana being escorted to a room.  They
      begin collectively reciting Shakespeare.
   -- Lucy tries to call the sheriff to the phone, but gets no response.  She
      eventually finds all the men literally spellbound by Lana telling
      stories.
   -- Denise visits Ernie at the RR.  At the Great Northern, Cooper and Denise
      interrogate Ernie.  They apparently want to let him off, using him to
      catch the big guys.  Denise will pose as a buyer from Seattle and Ernie
      will arrange for a deal between Renault and Denise.
   -- James hears Evelyn and Jeffrey fighting.  Malcolm tells James the first
      beating was four years ago.  He swears to kill Jeffrey.
   -- Bobby goes home to find his mother sitting in the dark grieving over the
      Major's disappearance.  She flips on an owl lamp and Bobby tells his
      mother about the Major's vision.  Suddenly the lights go out and the
      major materializes in the house, wearing a vintage pilot's outfit
      (leather jacket and goggles) and asking how long he's been gone.
      Betty: Is everything all right?
      Garland: No, dear...not exactly.

   Morning
   -- Fade up on night time sky/field of stars.  Camera pans
      slowly to right.
 VOICE: (whispers) Cooperrr...                                 
      In the background, a chittering noise is heard.  A yellow
      symbol consisting of three equilateral triangles overlapping
      slightly at their apexes (like the international radiation
      symbol) appears spinning in the center of the screen and
      rapidly moves towards the camera with a screaming noise.
      When it hits the camera, the screen erupts with flames.
 BRIGGS (V.O.): I remember stepping from the flames.  A
   vague shape in the dark.  Then nothing.
      Slow fade from flames to Major Garland Briggs.  He is
      seated on a throne of stone in the middle of a jungle.
      The camera moves slowly towards him.
 BRIGGS: 'Til I found myself standing by the cold
   remains of our campfire.  Two days later.
 HAYWARD (Distorted V.O.): Major, there are some new techniques
   that might help us break through your amnesia.
 BRIGGS: Well, my memories are immune from regression.
   I can feel them...
      A wolf begins to growl in the background.
 BRIGGS: ...they're palpable, the smells, the sensation.
   Everything is known to me, yet somehow beyond my reach.
 COOPER (distorted V.O.): Do you remember anything else?
 BRIGGS: Very little, save for one disturbing image
   of a giant owl, pervasive.
      The wolf continues to growl.
 COOPER (distorted V.O.): A giant owl?
      With a flash of light, we cut to a brief negative image of an owl flying,
      then to a close shot of the back of the Major's neck, where there is a
      small red scar identical to the 3-triangle symbol seen before.  Cut
      to Briggs face.  The flash is revealed to be from an Instamatic
      camera that Doc Hayward used to take a picture of the scar.  
      The camera slowly pulls back from Briggs.  The scene is the
      Sheriff's Station Conference Room, the time is apparently morning.
      Major Briggs, Agent Cooper, Doc Hayward and Sheriff Truman
      are present.
 COOPER: A giant owl?  How big?
 BRIGGS: (fidgeting with his fingers) Enough to cloud my mind and
           memory.
 HAYWARD: (handing the instant picture he has just taken to Cooper)
   Three triangular scars behind the right ear, in perfect proportion.
 TRUMAN: Major Briggs...what exactly does your work involve?
 BRIGGS: That information...as I've repeated endlessly
   to myself...classified.  Though the keeping of
   secrets ... seems less meaningful to me now.
   (Pause.  The Major is nervous and shaken.)
   Perhaps there are sources of information that are
   so important as to transcend the human need
   to conspire.  Information of such weight that
   pertains not ... (Garland pauses.  He begins to
   lose control of his emotions.)  Oh, God!  Is
   this meant for the soul?!  My soul?
 COOPER: Major--perhaps you'd better start back at the beginning.
 BRIGGS: Are you familiar with...Project Bluebook?
 COOPER: Yes sir, I am.  The Air Force investigation into
   the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects.
 BRIGGS: Officially disbanded in 1969.  But, there are those
   of us who ... continue in an _unofficial_ capacity.
   Examining the heavens as before...in the case of 
   Twin Peaks, the earth below.
      Cooper and Truman look at each other.
 BRIGGS: We are searching for a place called the White Lodge.
      Briggs stops talking as the door opens and two M.P.s step in.
 M.P. #1: Major Briggs?
 BRIGGS: I've been expecting you.
 TRUMAN: Now hold on just a minute, fellas.
 M.P. #1: Colonel Riley's orders.
 TRUMAN: I don't care what orders you got, this is my
   station and Major Briggs happens to be a friend of mine.
 BRIGGS: Harry (Briggs rises).   I'm afraid we will have to continue
   this discussion at a later date.
 TRUMAN: Are you sure you wanna to go with them?
 BRIGGS: (Nods) Yeah. (to Cooper) Goodbye.
 M.P. #1: Major.

      (Hawk is attaching a "wire" to Ernie with adhesive tape)
      E: Ouch!  Will you mind the chest hair, will ya?
      H: You're sweatin' like a pig, Mr. Niles!
      E: Oh, thanks a lot!  That's nervous perspiration, man, hyperhydrosis.
 It's a childhood condition--and I didn't notice it 'til the war.  
 Korea, remember that?  Do ya?  I was leading a batallion up towards
 the 49th parallel.  We were just a bunch of fresh-faced kids.
         I didn't know what kinda hell we were steppin' into.
      C: Ernie!  Ernie, I want you to focus on the here and now.  Repeat your
 instructions to me, step by step.
      E: Okay.  Uh...I take...Denise...up to Dead Dog Farm.  I introduce her to
 Renault.
      C: Right.
      E: I, uh...take Renault through the buy...complete the transaction, and
         get the hell out of there, huh?
      C: Good.  Harry--that's when you come in. (Truman nods)  By golly...I
         sure wish I could join you fellas.  But I've temporarily lost my
 enforcement franchise.
      E: Heh, I bet.
      T: Well...I've been givin' that some thought. (tosses badge to Cooper)
 Consider yourself deputized.  The bureau's loss is my gain.
      (Cooper looks at the badge--it's number 13.)
      C: (happily)  I hope I can live up to this.
      H: (finishes wiring Ernie)  He's done.  You might want to towel him off
 before we go! (wipes his hands, exits)
      E: Ah, come on!  (to Cooper and Truman)  Uh...how long will it, uh...
 take you guys to storm the farmhouse after, uh, I complete the buy?
      C: (pinning on his badge)  You go out, we come in.
      E: Can I, can I ask you a question?
      T: What, Ernie?
      E: Don't make me do this!  This isn't my line of work!  I'm a coward!  I
 don't do this kind of thing, I'm a CPA!
      T: Ernie.
      C: Ernie.
      E: (laughs nervously) Just a momentary lapse.  I'm okay, I'm...I'm cool. 
 Let's go do it, huh?
      C: Where's Denise?
      T: Haven't seen her.

       ponytail)
      D: (proudly)  You can call me Dennis!  Oh, I don't know, somehow it
 seemed...more appropriate.  (Cooper beams, absolutely delighted)
 Whadda you think?
      (Truman whistles appreciatively)   
   -- Andy and Dick at the Dorritt Home for Boys
      D: Our investigation must proceed "sub rosa."  We may have to pick the
 lock.  Tricky business, that.  (Andy opens the unlocked door)  Voila!
 We enter!
      A: Where is everybody?
      D: Lunch!  Here we are, the case files.  N...N...N...(turns to another
 set of files) N!  Nales...Nester...Netherby...Needleman, Nicholas.
 Needleman, our little Nicky!
      A: We can read it in the car!
      D: Oh, patience, Andrew.
      A: (increasingly nervous) Dick!
      D: Sh!  The usual background information...mmm...birthplace...initial
 adoption...  mm-hmm!  First of several, it seems.
      A: Dick!
      D: (oblivious to Andy)  Ah, the plot thickens.  Where are thy secrets,
 little Nicky?
      (The Brewsters appear at the door, wave eagerly.  Andy sees them.)
      A: Dick!
      (The Brewsters enter.  Dick jumps up, startled, and clumsily hides
      Nicky's file in his trenchcoat.)
      B: Hi!
      (Andy, petrified, crosses and stands beside Dick.)
      B: We're the Brewsters.  (laughs)  I know we're a little early.  It's
 just that we're so darn eager to see him.  Can we see him?  Where's
 Donny?
      D: D--Uh, little Donny is...uh, dead.  (The Brewsters look horrified.) 
 Eh!  Dead tired, I mean.  I'm afraid little Donny, he isn't feeling up
 to snuff.
      B: Well, he was in perfect health only yesterday.
      (Dick is stumped.)
      A: Dick!
      D: Just a minute...*Woody*.  Let me finish helping these good people.
 Now--where were we?
  
   Afternoon
   -- Ed answers the door to Donna who's looking for James.  She'll deliver
      the money.
   -- Norma leaves and Nadine rescues Ed from Hank
   -- Bobby sees Ben, then Audrey.  A: I think Daddy needs an injection.
   -- Catherine visits Ben
   -- James shows Evelyn the fixed car who seduces him as Malcolm watches
   -- At Dead Dog Farm, Ernie's shirt smokes, blowing the cover.  Hawk calls
      for backup as Cooper exchanges himself for Ernie and Dennis.

   Evening (1/4 moon)
   -- Evelyn leaves James in bed to go at it with Malcolm
   -- Jean, the mountie, and Cooper in the center room:
      C:  Is my death so important to you?
      R:  My two brothers die...I hold you responsible.
      C:  Why?
      R:  Well...before you came here...Twin Peak was a simple place.
  My brothers deal dope to the teenagers and the truckdrivers...
  oh...One Eyed Jack welcomed the businessman and the tourist...
  quiet people lived a quiet life.  Then--a pretty girl die,
  and you arrive...and everything change.  My brother Bernardo,
  shot, and left to die in the...the woods.  A grieving father
  smother my remaining brother with, ah...the pillow.
  Kidnaping...death...suddenly, ah, the quiet people...they're
  quiet no more.  Suddenly the...the simple dream, become the
  nightmare.  So.  If you die, maybe you will be the last to die.
  Maybe you brought, ah...the nightmare...with you.  And maybe...
  the nightmare will *die* with you.
   -- Dennis in a RR uniform, delivers food.  Cooper shoots Jean with a 
      gun hidden in Dennis' panty hose and Dennis kicks the mountie's ass.
   -- Shelly wakes to intermittent power to find Leo
   -- Power's off at the station.  Lucy says there were two fires and an
      explosion.  Cooper finds a dead person pointing to a chessboard:

      it's me you suck up to.

      T: So how does chess figure into all this?
      C: Because Windom Earle and I played a game every day for three years.
 He felt that all of life could be found in the patterns and conflicts
 on the board.  (pauses)  Because I never beat him.  (pauses)  Now it's
 my turn.  I'll publish my response in the Twin Peaks Gazette.  I don't
 know what else to do.
      T: Coop, you're gonna have to give me some more information here.
      C: Harry, I've brought some baggage to town I haven't told you about.
 (sits) Windom Earle was my first partner.  Everything I know about the
 law and the bureau, I owe to him.  Four years ago, we drew the
 assignment of protecting a material witness in a federal crime.  She
 was, uh...very beautiful...very gentle woman.  Her name was Caroline.
 She and I fell in love.  One night, I...failed in my vigilance.  An
 attack was made; I wasn't ready.  I was wounded and I lost
 consciousness.  (swallows hard)  When I came to, she was in my arms,
 she...she was dead, she'd been stabbed.
      T: The wounds on the vagrant.
      C: Identical.  The killer was never found.  My wound healed; Windom Earle
 went mad.  Institutionalized until his recent escape.
      T: So why is he after you?
      C: Harry--Caroline was Windom Earle's wife.
      (Truman has been sitting on the edge of his desk.  Now, he sits in his
      chair, taken aback.)
      T: So...he blames you for her death.
      C: (shakes his head, leans forward)  It's much worse than that.  I think
 he killed her.  And I think he committed the crime that she originally
 witnessed.  Harry-- Windom Earle's mind is like a diamond!  It's cold,
 and hard, and brilliant.  I think he feigned the insanity that sent
 him away, but at some point he lost the ability to distinguish between
 what's right and what's wrong.  You don't know what he's capable of,
 Harry...you don't know!
   -- Donna shows up at Wallies looking for James but finds Evelyn instead.
      Evelyn said he had done some work for her and then headed off to Mexico.
   -- Audrey ushers Jerry into Ben's office.  BEN: "Jeb!"  Dr. Jacoby is there.
      He says Ben's reversal of the South's fortunes is a healthy way for Ben
      to recover from his own defeat.
   -- Briggs staggers into the sheriff's office and collapses.  Lucy checks her
      lip stick.
   -- Briggs, Truman and Cooper at the station:
      (Briggs, Cooper, and Truman are all sucking down huge glasses of water.
       Lucy is standing nearby with a pitcher of water.)
      L: More?
      C: I'm fine.
      T: Fine, Lucy.
      B: Fine.
      (Lucy exits.)
      T: Major--what happened?
      B: Well, as men who have dedicated their lives to service, I know that
 you're able to understand how sacred I hold a pledge of allegiance.
 And the cost one must pay when breaking a pledge.
      C: It can be very great.
      B: Well, the Air Force, *I thought*, was not unlike other societies of
 men dedicated to the fight for the good.  (pauses, mops his brow)
 Gentlemen, frankly I'm worried.  When my superiors questioned me about
 my disappearance, they exhibited a degree of suspicion and intolerance
 bordering on the paranoic.  I must now admit that their motivation in
 the search for the White Lodge is not ideologically pure.  I believe
 that during my disappearance I was taken to the White Lodge.  I can 
 remember, virtually nothing.  But I have the clear, intuitive sense
 that there's...  much trouble ahead.
      C: Major?  What kind of trouble?
      B: I am unaware of the form it will take.  (pauses)  I will return.
 Until that time, I will be in the shadows if you need me.  Good day,
 gentlemen.
      C: Good day, Major.
      (the Major exits.)
      T: In the shadows.  Can you beat that?
      C: No...
   -- Jacoby, Lana, Cooper, Truman, Hawk at the station
      (Cooper and Truman enter the meeting room after Hawk.  Jacoby and Lana
       are waiting there.)
      J: Good.  I wanted all of you to hear this.  I've just spent almost the
 last twenty-four hours with this charming young lady, and as you can
 see, uh...  I have no bruises, no broken bones...any claims by her
 deceased husband's brother that she's cursed or somehow responsible
 for a death is nonsense.  Now what she does, in fact, possess is a
 heightened sexual drive.  And a working knowledge of technique,
 anatomy, and touch, that few men have ever had the pleasure of
 experiencing, or the skills to match.
      T: Is it *hot* in here?
      C: Yeah.
      H: Yep.
      C: Lana, let me be the first to congratulate you.
      L: Thank you!  Well--I could never have done it without Dr. Jacoby.
      J: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.  Okay.  Well, we're gonna go bowling.  See ya
 later, guys!
   -- Dwayne Milford is in the lobby with a shotgun, threatening to shoot Lana.
      Cooper suggests that the mayor and the widow go alone into the conference
      room to work it out.  Truman: Now what?  Cooper: We wait.
   -- Cooper: "OK, long enough."  The cops enter the conference room to find
      the widow and the mayor making wedding plans.
   -- Catherine reveals Andrew Packard to Pete

   Dusk
   -- Eckhardt and a young female escort check into the Great Northern
   -- Truman shows Cooper a Seattle newspaper story -- Jonathan is dead.
      Truman suspects Josie and asks Cooper to investigate.
   -- Doc Hayward tells Dick and Andy about Nicky's past.  His mother was an
      immigrant, maid at the Great Northern.  She was impregnated during a
      rape, died in child birth.  Nicky was in an orphanage, then adopted. 
      His adopted parents were killed in a car crash.  Lucy is indignant that
      the men had suspected Nicky of wrong-doing.  She swats a fly.
   -- It comes down at the Marsh place.  Evelyn says Jeffrey died in a car
      crash, the brake lines were cut.  JAMES: "You set me up!"  Evelyn says
      she loves James, and hopes he gets away.  Police arrive.  James is
      sneaking away.  Donna is there in the shadows, and they run away
      together.

   Night
   -- Leo walking through the woods.  Gratuitous owl shots.  There is a cabin
      with a light on.  Leo walks in and meets Windom Earle.

   -- Cooper and Truman question Josie
   -- Pete returns with a load of dry cleaning.  Cooper takes a sample from
      a coat.

   -- Ben continues on in the war.  Johnny is present in his Indian headdress.
      Bobby trumpets.
   -- Evelyn and Donna trade words at Wallies until Malcolm comes for Evelyn
   -- Albert's report.  The dead Asian man was Johnathan Kumagi.  The fibers
      found outside Cooper's door and from Josie's coat are a perfect match.
      The dead vagrant's name was Eric Powell.  Powell was Caroline's maiden
      name.
   -- Pete beats Toad, Cooper and Doc Hayward in chess
   -- Shelly gets her job back and cleans the ice cream cone

   Night
   -- Josie answers the door to Eckhardt, who dines with Catherine.  They

   Morning
   -- Cooper and Truman listen to Earle's tape.  They decide to call Pete
      for Cooper's next move.  Lucy: Paper and Pete - I'll do it
      alphabetically!
   -- Pete answers Lucy's call then serves breakfast to Catherine and Andrew.
      Josie enters, sees Andrew and faints.
   -- Truman reads the paper, an article on the Asian man's death
   -- Hank (on crutches) and Hawk in Truman's office.  Truman accuses Hank of
      shooting Leo.  Hank says he was home with Norma then, and offers to deal
      info on Packard's death for freedom.  No deal.  Hawk kicks Hank's
      crutch out from under him.
   -- Albert's report reagrding the gun:
      A: This is the bullet we removed from you.  This is the one that was
         excavated from the dead man's skull.  Same bullets, same gun, same
 killer.  Let's go get her.
      C: Albert, hold your horses.
      A: Coop--I appreciate any reluctance you might have for busting your
 pal's old lady, but the woman ventilated you and left you for dead.
      C: (holds up his hand) Albert--I don't take it personally.  What about
 the gloves, the powder tests?
      A: News at five.  All right, fine, you're not mad, but there's an
 epidemic of multiple gunshot wounds following this chick around,
 she is a menace.
      C: (nods) I'll talk to her.  Maybe she'll confess, turn herself in.
      A: Maybe she'll grow wings and join the circus. (leaves)
   -- Audrey working as concierge at the Great Northern.  Some hunk walks
      in; he claims to have seen Audrey years ago playing Heidi.  Audrey has
      mail -- a note containing a torn piece of paper with writing, and a
      note inviting her to "save the one you love" by attending "a gathering
      of angels" at the Roadhouse that night.
   -- Ed replaces some figurines on a shelf when Nadine returns from school
      early. She confesses to Ed her love for Mike.  NADINE: "We have to
      call a spade a spade.  We're breaking up."
   -- Cooper pleads the truth from Josie.  Catherine listens in.  COOPER: "I
      don't know what place Harry occupies in your heart, but I do know that
      you own his."  Josie is unresponsive.  After Cooper leaves, Catherine
      badgers Josie while oozing slime.  Catherine says Josie will have to
      see Eckhardt alone that night.  JOSIE: "He'll kill me."  Catherine
      casually exposes a gun in the book case which Josie grabs and fondles.
   -- Bobby, Ben, Jerry, Audrey and John Justice Wheeler plot business.
      Ben reveals there is an endangered species on the mill/Ghostwood
      property: the pine weasel.
      B: I give you...the little pine weasel.  Found only in our tri-county
 area...  it is nearly extinct.
      J: (happily) They're incredible roasted.
      Ben will use this fact to stop development until he is in the driver's
      seat.  BEN: "And then, I'm considering a run for the Senate."

   1:16 (clock on wall)
   -- Earle the truck driver leaves the RR, leaving a note for Shelly. 
      Norma is on the phone with her sister, Annie, who lives at a
      convent.  Shelly reads the note, identical to Audrey's.
      Ed comes in and proposes to Norma.
   -- Leo whittles under Earle's instruction
   -- Norma visits Hank in jail, asks for a divorce.  Hank promises to reform
      and asks for an alibi regarding Leo.  Norma refuses, although Hank
      swears he'll die if he goes back to prison.  HANK: "You're his whore." 
      NORMA: "I'd rather be his whore than your wife."
   -- Pete selects a move that will give Earle "sleepless nights" and not
      allow him to capture any pieces for 4-5 moves.  It appears to be P to
      QN-3.  This is just about the only legal move in that corner of the
      board (to Cooper's right) that would prevent any immediate capture.

   5:00 pm (A to C: "News at five.")
   -- Albert says the powder on Josie's glove proves she shot Cooper.  There
      was a positive ID of her in Seattle.
   -- Andrew visits Josie putting on makeup in her room.  He says he loved her
      though she didn't love him and she should go to Eckhardt who can
      get her out of the country.

   Dusk
   -- James and Donna meet for a picnic in the mountains.  James is going to
      continue traveling around.  Donna will return to TP.  They will continue
      to love each other and meet again some day. Evelyn is going to stand
      trial.

   Evening
   -- Truman comes to see Josie.  Catherine says she's gone to see Eckhardt.
   -- Eckhardt and Andrew meet in the elevator.  Andrew says he is alive
      because Josie betrayed Eckhardt.  Something about Josie in love with
      Truman.  ECKHARDT: "I've already taken care of him."
   -- Ben, Audrey and Jack at supper.  Jack is in business of saving troubled
      businesses with environmental problems.  Ben is called away;
      attraction/repulsion/defensiveness between Audrey and Jack ensues.

   9:30 pm
   -- Shelly, Audrey and Donna meet at the Roadhouse.  They put their three
      pieces of paper together. Earle watches from the bar.
      "See the mountains kiss high heaven
      And the waves clasp one another.
      No sister flower would be forgiven
      If it disdained its brother.
      And the sunlight clasps the earth,
      And the moonbeams kiss the sea.
      What is all this sweet work worth,
      If thou kiss not me?"
   -- Cooper practices fly fishing in his room.  Catherine calls to let him 
      know where Josie is.  He grabs his gun and goes to investigate.  He hears
      a shot and opens Eckhardt's door.  Eckhardt stands up and dies.
      Josie and Cooper point guns at each other.
      J: He tried to kill me.
      C: Is that what you'll say about me, Josie--that I tried to kill you?
 What about Jonathan?  Did he try to kill you, too?
      J: He...he was taking me back.
      C: Why did you shoot me, Josie?
      J: Because you came here.  I knew this day was going to come.  I'm not
 going to jail!  I can't!
      (Truman enters, gun drawn)
      H: Put it down, Josie.
      J: Ah!  Harry?!
      H: PUT IT DOWN!!
      J: Harry--forgive me.  I never meant to hurt you. (takes several sharp
  breaths, closes her eyes, hugs the gun to her chest, and collapses on
 the bed)
      H: (rushes to her, cradles her in his arms) Josie!  Josie?!  Josie!
         (looks up) She's dead.  
      (Truman and Josie on the bed disappear, spotlight appears.  BOB climbs
      onto the bed from the floor on the far side, laughing maniacally, until
      he is on his hands and knees on the bed)
      B: Coop!  What happened to Josie?! (continues to laugh)
      (BOB disappears, the little Man From Another Place appears, dances on
      the bed, and disappears.  Truman and Josie reappear as before.  Josie's
      face appears in the knob of the nightstand, crying out in torment)

[Cooper's Prologue: March 28th, Thursday night.  Diane, I want to bring you
up to speed on a few recent developments.  Nadine Hurley, 35 years old,
persists in the belief that she is a high school girl.  She has apparently
fallen in love with Mike Nelson, high school varsity star.  
   Word has it that Bobby Briggs is shacked up with Shelly the waitress.
Shelly's husband, Leo, has awakened from his coma and is somewhere in
the woods.
   Ben Horne has suddenly become an environmentalist, and enlisted the 
aid of trusted friend John Justice Wheeler to help him save the pine
weasel.
   As for me...I find myself suffused with a vague sense of contentment;
a premonition of happiness.  I hope I will be ready when it comes.  Mean-
while, there's Windom Earle, my former partner.  Windom continues to play
his deadly game of chess.  Deadly, Diane, because every time he removes 
a piece from the board, Earle takes a human life.  I have enlisted the
aid of chess champion Pete Martell, in hopes of formulating a stalemate
game.  In the meantime, I can only wait for Earle's next move.
   Major Briggs has returned from his disappearance in the woods, but
remembers nothing.  He cannot explain the mysterious tattoo on his neck.
   Diane, Josie Packard is dead, possibly from fear.  And while I am
absolutely certain that she tried to take my life, I feel both sadness
and even sympathy.  Sheriff Truman is suffering terribly as a result.
   When Josie died, I saw a vision, revealing BOB, and the midget from
my dream.  Windom Earle...BOB...the midget...is there a connection, Diane?
Do these events foretell BOB's return?  I hope not...for all our sakes.]

   Morning
   -- Truman thinks of Josie in a darkened room and Hawk comes in offering
      breakfast.  Truman refuses, finding solace in a bottle of Jack Daniels.

   -- Annie, Norma's sister, arrives and is to start working at the RR
   -- The Log Lady touches the Major's tattoo

      Josie's cause of death.  Her body weight was 65 lbs.
   -- Windom talks to Leo about the country life, while Leo fetches things.
      Windom's got himself a laptop.  He gets the latest move from Cooper
      in the paper.  He doesn't like it.
   -- People from the Great Nothern & Horne's store set up for a benefit
      show to save the pine weasel.  Pinkle's to give a talk about the pine
      weasel.  John and Audrey ramble then plan a picnic.
   -- Cooper visits Truman and gives him the scoop on Josie.  She had multiple
      felons and two arrests for prostitution besides the shooting of Eckhardt,
      Jonathan, and Cooper himself.  Truman kicks him out. 
   -- Catherine looks at plans and is visted by Jones, Eckhardt's executive
      assistant.  She's got a gift for Catherine.
   -- Dr. Gerald Craig (Earle), a friend of Dr. Hayward's, comes by, talks with
      Donna and leaves a gift for Will
   -- Pete looks for a stalemate game but he informs Cooper that at
      least six men are lost by such a game.  Andy and Lucy argue over the
      knight's hook move.
   -- Cooper, the Log Lady, and Major Briggs compare notes. Margaret, at age 7,
      Major Briggs:        Margaret:               took a walk in the woods and
/\    /\            /\             /\      was told that she had
       /  \  /  \          /  \           /  \    disappeared for a day. She
      /____\/____\        /    \/\     /\/    \    got a tattoo on her leg. She
   /\            /        \   /        \   also heard an owl when her
  /  \          /__________\ /__________\  husband died. All three have
 /____\                                    heard that call as well as
   seen the light.

   Afternoon
   -- John sings to Audrey at their picnic
   -- WIll and Eileen return. Donna tells him about Dr. Craig.  She's informed
      that Dr. Craig was his roommate and also drowned years ago.  The gift
      contains a note: KN to KB3.  The phone number given to Donna by Dr. Craig
      was for a cemetary.

      Audrey and they munch on carrots.

   Night
   -- At Owl Cave, Andy slips and falls.  Cooper, Truman, and Hawk are also
      there.  They see the symbol on the wall.  An owl flies around them.
      Andy swings at it with his pick and hits the symbol.  The middle
      diamond falls out revealing a pole with a petroglyph on the end.
      The owl flies away.

   9:05 pm (Cooper to Diane)
   -- Cooper, after making a quick message to Diane, runs into Annie at the
      Great Northern bar.
      Dale: Hello Annie.
      Annie: Hi.
      D: Can I get you something... oh,
      A: No, no, I have a rum and tonic.
      D: I see.
      A: One of the sisters used to put rum in her tea and I thought it was
 exotic, so...
      D: It's all new to you isn't it?
      A: I feel constantly amazed. Stunned. Music and people-- the way they
         talk and laugh and the way some of them are so clearly in love.  It's
         like a foreign language to me.  I know just enough of the words to
         realize how little I know.
      D: I'd love to see the world through your eyes.
      A: Why?
      D: There are some things I might do different if I had the chance.
      A: Me too.
      [Annie reaches for her drink-- Dale notices the suicide scar -- and 
      Annie notices him noticing.  She pulls back her hand to cover her wrist.]
      A: You see, the thing is I failed before and [pause] I'm just afraid it
 might happen again.
      D: You want to talk about it?
      A: Not yet.
      D: Maybe I can help.
      A: Can you?
      D: If you want me to. 
      A: I'm stubborn, extremely willful.
      D: I can handle that.
      A: Some people think I'm strange.
      D: I know the feeling.
      A: [laughs] I couldn't promise you that I would always make sense or do
 things that you'd expect me to do.
      D: Annie I don't expect anything.
      A: Then I accept your kind and generous offer.
      D: Good.  I'm glad.
   -- Earle explores Owl Cave:
      [Thw bright light of Windom's flashlight and then we see his figure in
      Owl Cave as he appears to be looking for something.
      He comes across the uncovered "petroglyph."]

        other parts of the cave] ...here?

 [Looks back at the ceiling.]  The symbol inverted. 
 [laughs a wheezing kind of little laugh]  Now.
      [Struggling a little, Windom grasps the stone shaft on the wall with his 
       right hand and rotates it counter-clockwise until the symbol on the wall
       is the same as the one on the ceiling.  Andy's axe stuck in the "fire" 
       symbol begins to move as a trembling sound begins.  The axe is now
       directly above the petroglyph on the wall.  The axe falls out 
       of the wall as the walls begin to shake more.  Windom is backing out
       of the cave with tiny laughs of satisfication.  Dust coming off of the
       wall fills the screen.]

   Morning
   -- Cooper, Andy, Hawk, and Truman are back at Owl Cave and find a new

      _______________________________________________________________________
   -- Earle talks to Leo and a punk who thought he was invited to a party,
      about the White Lodge and the Black Lodge.  On a computer is the
      petroglygh from Owl Cave.
      Earle: Once upon a time, there was a place of great goodness, called the
       White Lodge.  Gentle fawns gamboled there amidst happy, laughing
       spirits.  The sounds of innocence and joy filled the air.  And when
       it rained, it rained sweet nectar that infused one's heart with a
       desire to live life in truth and beauty.  Generally speaking, a
       ghastly place, reeking of virtue's sour smell.  Engorged with the
       whispered prayers of kneeling mothers, mewling newborns, and fools,
       young and old, compelled to do good without reason.  Heh-heh!
  But, I am happy to point out that our story does not end in this
       wretched place of saccharine excess.  For there's another place, its
       opposite; a place of almost unimaginable power, chock full of dark
       forces and vicious secrets.  No prayers dare enter this frightful maw.
       Spirits there care not for good deeds or priestly invocations; they 
       are as like to rip the flesh from your bone as greet you with a happy
       "Good day!"  And if harnessed, these spirits in this hidden land of
       unmuffled screams of broken hearts would offer up a power so vast that
       its bearer might reorder the earth itself--to his liking!  Now!  This
       place I speak of--is known as the Black Lodge.  And I intend to find it.
   -- Pete tries to create a poem on Josie but is interrupted by
      Catherine.  She hasn't been able to open the box left by Eckhardt's
      assistant.  Pete tells her it's a puzzle box that could take
      YEARS to open.  Catherine: "Open it!  I've been trying for days."
   -- At the RR Bobby tries to convince Shelly to enter the Miss TP pageant
   -- Elsewhere at the RR, Lana tries to convince the mayor to help her
      win the contest since he's a judge
   -- Cooper enters and orders coffee and donuts from Annie for his team,
      and makes a date with Annie (a nature study) for this afternoon.
      He overhears a piece of the poem Shelly was reciting and gets her
      piece of the poem.  Blue plate special is 'Hearty Beaver Broth'.
   -- Cooper tells Truman that the message was from Earle.  It was the poem
      that he sent to Caroline.
   -- Major Briggs points out an error in Andy's chalkboard rendition
      of the petroglyph.  He's dreamed of it.  Cooper says that Leo's
      disappearance, Owl Cave, and Earle are all related.  He asks for
      Briggs' help, who ponders his situation and dedication to his work.
      We see a silhouette of a hooded figure.  When it comes toward the screen,
      a starscape is seen inside, and an owl flies in the starscape and we
      then see a wall of fire appear.  Briggs agrees to help.  Hawk brings in
      Leo's arrest report, which Cooper compares to the poem and concludes
      it was Leo's handwriting.
   -- Dick and Ben chat. Ben: Sometimes the urge to do bad...is nearly
      overpowering.
   -- The punk is in a papermache (pawn) and Earle asks for an arrow. Leo
      doesn't want to but those shocks from his collar convinces him to.
      Earle loads a crossbow and shoots the punk.

   3:35 pm (clock on wall)
   -- The Miss Twin Peaks Committee (Doc Hayward, the Mayor, and Pete) meets
      and listens to Ben who wants the topic of the pageant to be to save the
      forests
   -- Miss TP contestants gather.  Mike: "Do you have any idea what a
      combination of sexual maturity and superhuman strength can result in?"

   3:36 pm (grandfather clock)
   -- Truman and Catherine talk about Josie and why she did what she did.
      She shows him the puzzle box.  Pete shows up and drops it,
      opening it.  The contents seems to be another puzzle box which consistsi
      of two concentric rings of symbols.  The inner ring is made
      up of symbols corresponding to the phases of the moon.  The outer ring
      is made up mostly of zodiac symbols.
Clock position       Inner Symbol           Outer Symbol
                         (moonphase)            (zodiac)
--------------------------------------------------------
12:00                Full Moon              Libra
 1:30                 Waxing Gibbous         Pisces
 3:00                 First Quarter          Cancer (modified)*
 4:30                 Waxing Crescent        Unknown**
 6:00                 New Moon               Aries
 7:30                 Waning Crescent        Sagittarius
 9:00                 Third Quarter          Taurus
10:30                Waning Gibbous         Gemini
      * The Cancer symbol differs from that shown in the dictionary.
Essentially, it's like a lowercase sigma with a long , straight
tail and another similarly modified sigma, rotated 180 degrees,
directly beneath it.
      ** This symbol is a large circle with four much smaller circles
 just outside it at clock positions 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, and 1:30.
 The overall effect is that of a paw.  Perhaps it's a different
 sign for Leo.

   Sometime after 4:00 (Cooper tells Annie he'll pick her up at 4:00 sharp)
   -- Annie and Coop in a boat.  Annie tells Cooper that she had
      one senior year boyfriend and because of him, there are scars on her 
      wrist before she entered the convent.  Cooper kisses her twice.
      Earle watches.
   -- A wine tasting party which Dick is hosting with a bandaged nose
   -- Gordon again speaks normally to Shelly.  When Cooper and Annie
      appear Gordon tells them and Shelly that he's leaving but
      he'll try to return to TP to be with Shelly.  He gives her
      two kisses, the first interrupted by Bobby who is expressing
      his disbelief.
   -- Lana and Andy find banana and chocolate in the taste of
      the wine they taste.  Lucy spits wine in Dick's face.
   -- Jack and Cooper chat about love.  Jack receives a telegram and
      quickly makes arrangements to check out.
   -- Donna still wants to know about Eileen's involvement with Ben,
      and she is thinking of studying overseas.  Eileen wants more peas.
   -- Hooded silhouette but with a half moon where the head is.  The owl flies.
   -- Cooper and the police at the gazebo.  There's a crate on the gazebo.
      On it there's a ring on a sign that says "PULL ME".  Cooper does
      from a distance using a police line tied to the ring and a
      rock.  He shoots the rock and the crate opens.  The punk is
      in a chess piece scupture with a sign saying that "Next time it will
      be someone you know."

Friday evening (continued)
   -- The cops haul the pawn off the gazebo.  A friend of the punk in
      the pawn describes how Scott, wearing a weird suit, came out of the
      woods, saying he had beer so Rusty Tomaski the punk went with him.
      Andy cries.  Cooper thinks Earle is playing off the board since
      Earle didn't tell him his move.

25 Mar (Saturday)

   Morning
   -- Lucy tells Truman that Hawk is feeding breakfast to some guy she's never
      seen before because he looked sad.  She tells Andy tommorow is D-Day

      going to enter the Miss Twin Peaks contest and Andy's got some ideas
      for her speech.
   -- At the Great Northern, Jack checks to see if there are any messages
      for him from Audrey
   -- Doc Hayward, after examining Ben, gives him a clean bill of health,
      and tells him to stay away from Eileen.  Ben says not as long as the
      lie survives.  Jack enters, looking for Audrey.  He has to leave
      because his partner was murdered.
   -- Donna Marie Hayward finds a blank space on her birth certificate
      under the "Father" entry and some pictures of her parents with Ben.

      to see Cooper immediately
   -- Jack and Ben chat.  Jack's got to take his partner's place in the
      Rain Forest business.  He's got something for Audrey.
   -- Briggs has Cappy look for symbols and has some information for Cooper
      and Truman.  Earle was the best and brightest of them, but became
      obsessive and destructive when the attention turned from outer space
      to Twin Peaks and so was removed from the project.
      E: These, uh, these evil sorcerers, uh,...dugpas, they're called...they,
uh, cultivate evil for the sake of evil, nothing else, they, uh, 
express thenselves in darkness, for darkness without leavening motive,
uh--Now this, this ardent purity allows them to access a secret place
where the cultivation of evil proceeds in exponential fashion, and
with it, the furtherance of evil's resulting power!  Th-this place of
power is tangible and as such can be found, entered, and perhaps
utilized in, in some fashion.  Th-the dugpas have, have, many names
for it, but chief among them (coughs) is the, uh, is the Black Lodge.
You don't believe me, do you?  You think I'm mad.  Overworked.
Go away.
      C: (pauses tape)  Gentlemen, when Windom Earle arrived in Twin Peaks I
assumed he had come for vengeance.  For me.  But I miscalculated.
He has insinuated himself into the lives of people I care for, he has
murdered innocents; he has engaged us in subterfuge and red herring--
a fish I don't particularly care for.  But all of these acts are
merely camouflage; he's been after something else all along.  The 
Black Lodge.  Fellas, we need to find out what this (points to
monitor), the Black Lodge, has to do with that! (points to drawing of
map)
      Cooper and Truman will look through the old files and Briggs will go
      for a walk.
   -- Earle, eavesdropping on Cooper, Truman, and Briggs, laughs.  Leo
      pockets the shocker.
   -- At the RR, a pie-eater's hand shakes.  Bobby and Shelly discuss her
      speech and his recent inattention to Shelly.  Cooper's on the phone
      for Shelly.

   -- At the roadhouse, the mayor tells Lana she's gonna win since the other
      judges are gonna be Norma and Dick.  She says she'll marry after she
      wins.

      strange people.  Shelly recognizes Leo's handwriting.  Cooper tells them

      himself
   -- Audrey enters the Great Northern just missing Jack on his way out.
      Ben wants Audrey to enter Miss Twin Peaks so she can speak about his
      cause.  He mentions Jack's flight so she takes off, getting Pete,
      who babbles about seeing Josie's face, to drive her.
   -- Cooper and Truman ponder the petroglyph.  Andy goes to call Mrs.
      Briggs to find out about Briggs who should've arrived by now.
      Cooper talks about Annie then gets the hand shakes.

      and is shot by Earle in a horse outfit
   -- Jack prepares to take off

   10:34 am (clock on wall)
   -- Cooper and Annie chat then kiss.  Plates fall.
   -- Pete and Audrey catch up to Jack.  They proclaim their love for each
      other and she says she's a virgin and wants him to make love to her.
      Pete cries and gets the hand shakes.
   -- Earle interrogates Briggs strung up on a target.  Windom: "What is your
      greatest fear...in this world?"  Major: "The possibility that love is
      not enough."
      Briggs: "There's a time if Jupiter and Saturn meet, they will receive
      him."  He also says something like "That gum you like is coming back"
      backwards.
   -- Andrew and Catherine fiddle with the puzzle box.  After trying Eckhardt's
      birthday and his own birthday, he tries the day the gift arrived and it
      opens, revealing another box.  Andrew smashes it, revealing a metal box.
   -- Annie and Cooper dance.  She mentions entering the Miss Twin Peaks
      pageant.  The Giant appears to Cooper with a mouthed warning, "no, no."
      Mayor: "This isn't right.  There's something wrong here."

   Dusk
   -- Pete wakes in his car.  The jet takes off for Brazil.  Audrey's still
      here.  Pete: "There are many cures for a broken heart.  But nothing

      Audrey to make a speech.
   -- Andy stares at the petroglyph.  Cooper tells Truman about how he thinks
      Josie died of fear and a vision of BOB immediately afterwards.  Earle

      on him.  Andy looks at the petroglyph again.
   -- Andrew, Pete, and Catherine are still wrestling with the box.  Andrew
      finally shoots it open.  Inside is a key, which Catherine puts in a
      cake-saver so it is in plain sight.
   -- Donna demands the truth from uncooperative Will and Eileen
   -- Andy looks at the petroglyph again.  Cooper figures out from a book
      that the petroglyph tells of a time when Jupiter and Saturn are in
      conjunction.  Briggs mutters "protect the queen" and "fear and love
      open the door."  Andy knocks the bonsai to the floor.  Truman goes
      to pick it up and notices the bug.

Directed by David Lynch]

  Night
   -- Lucy and Andy discuss what happened at the pageant
   -- Cooper, with Truman and Hawk, ponders the petroglyph and "Fire walk with
      me."  Pete enters and says the Log Lady stole his truck which had 12
      rainbow trout in the bed.  The circle of 12 sycamore trees is where
      Hawk found the bloody towel and ripped pages - Glastenberry Grove.  The
      Log Lady arrives with some oil which her husband said is the opening to
      a gateway.  Cooper determines it to be what Jacoby smelled.  Ronette is
      brought in and recognizes the smell of that oil from the night Laura
      died.

      Garland:  "I'm in the Black Lodge...with Dale Cooper"
   -- Cooper and the little man from another place sitting in the red room.
      LMFAP:  When you see me again, it won't be me.  This is the waiting room.
      Would you like some coffee?  Some of your friends are here.
      Laura:  Hello Agent Cooper.  {winks, snaps her fingers}  I'll see you in
      25 years.  Meanwhile {presents her hands}
      Great Northern room service waiter:  Hoo! Woo, woo, woo, woo {with hand 
      in front of mouth--the "Indian noise"}  Hallelujah!
      LMFAP:  Hallelujah!
      GNRSW:  Coffee.  Coffee.  Coffee.  Coffee.  Coffee.  Coffee. {sets down
      solid coffee for Cooper}
      Giant:  One and the same.
      {LMFAP rubs his hands.  Cooper picks up his coffee - it's liquid.  When
      he's about to drink, it's solid.  LMFAP continues rubbing his
      hands.  The coffee's liquid.  LMFAP continues rubbing his
      hands.  The coffee's viscous.}
      LMFAP:  Wow, Bob, wow.  Fire walk with me.
      {Fire.  Strobe effect.  Cooper walks to the other room.  Identical
      furniture but empty.  Back to the original room.}
      LMFAP:  Wrong way
      {Cooper goes back to to the other room.  LMFAP babbles excitedly. Then:}
      LMFAP:  Another friend.
      {Maddy enters wearing a black dress identical to Laura's.  LMFAP
      continues to babble, ducks behind a chair.}
      Maddy:  I'm Maddy.  Watch out for my cousin. {can't see whether her eyes
      are white}
      {Cooper goes back to the original room.  It's empty.  Then:}
      LMFAP (shadow self):  Doppleganger
      Laura  (shadow self):  {presenting hands}  {angrily}  Meanwhile
      {screams, climbs up on the chair}
      {Back to the other room.  Empty, but Cooper is bleeding from his stomach. 
      There's a trail of blood on the floor-- Cooper follows it back to the
      original room.  Caroline and Cooper on the floor bleeding.  No,
      it's Annie.  Annie gets up.}
      Cooper:  Caroline?  Annie?  Annie?  Annie?  Annie?  Annie?  Annie?
      {Cooper goes back to the other room.  Annie/Caroline is standing there,
      wearing the black dress from the pageant}
      Annie:  Dale.  I saw the face of the man who killed me.
      Cooper:  Annie...the face of the man who killed you?
      Annie:  It was my husband.

WHOSE husband killed them? sdbeck@mac.cc.macalstr.edu 1991-06-12 19:27
A friend of mine pointed out that it was actually ANNIE who said "I saw the
face of the man who killed me-it was my husband." While the natural temptation
is to think that the words were coming from/referring to Caroline, what if
(Evil)Cooper/Bob (I like the CooBob abbreviation, too) stays incognitio long 
enough to marry Annie? Then....hmmm.

I'm not an expert on this, but my understanding is that Twin Peaks is
produced by Lynch/Frost productions and sold to ABC at some price that
both ABC and L/F productions agreed upon.  If L/F decide to hire 10 new
people for their crew, they don't go to ABC to ask about it, they just
cover their costs however they can.  In other words, a network's ability
to carry a show is not dependent on the salaries of 250 people but
rather is dependent on whatever price a show is set at.  (Of course,
this price per episode is probably high for TP anyway.)

Thanks also to barb@zurich.ai.mit.edu (Barb Miller) for the lovely note
on Persephone.  Today I browsed through the Larousse Encyclopedia of

Indian, I think) in which the chief must drink a huge quantity of porridge
from a pit dug in the ground.  Not nearly so poetic.  (Also caught a note
on the function of birds in Native American myths: usually intermediaries
between man and the gods of the heavens.  So much for my theory that the
Owls, hunters by night, are the opposite of the good Hawk, named for a
hunter by day.)

Ok, let's get some things straightened out. First, what happened is:
-Windham tells Cooper that C must give W his (C's) soul to save Annie.
-C says "I will." W stabs C, some wierd reverse video, W unstabs C, and Bob
appears.
-B grabs W, tells him to shut utells C that W isn't allowed/isn't capable? (I
think the wording was "He can't.." do that.
-B says that he (B) will take W's soul. As punishment? In substitution? I don't
know.

I think that this part is NOT where Coop gets into serious trouble. Rather, it
is when he starts to become more and more afraid, running away more and more
quickly from each "person" he meets.

It seems pretty clear to me that Bob "gets into" Cooper (or the anti-Cooper
manages to be the one to come out of the lodge) when the anti-Cooper catches
Cooper.

The last episode of the prisoner is "not" a conventional
television drama and if you approach it as such, its going to
come across as pure Chaos.  Its a drama of ideas and concepts 
rather than a conventional "ending" where everyone dies or
goes home happy.

Fall out is also to an extent open to the interpretation
of the viewer.  People see different things in it and in many
cases what they are seeing is themselves and their own ideas 
about the issues/concepts dealt with in the show filtered though
the show.

The more you see the rest of the episodes, the more you
are going to read into or see in fallout.  The Prisoner as a series
is a story on multiple levels.

I think you could be right about the symbol being 2 rooms
separated by a corridor.  The symbol is on the left side of the circle
of trees rather than being inside of it (meaning that it wouldn't be a
symbol for the pool of liquid we saw).  Also, I guess that the
access guide has the coloring (black/white) reversed 
from what we saw on TV.  The "turned up sides"
part is also clear in the access guide so I don't know what that would
mean expect maybe that the lodges are underground-- as Major Briggs
suggested earlier.

  Ok-- so I guess the wavy line could just be a river-- but I still
don't know why the dots are there or why the giant/LMFAP are above the
wavy line.
  Also, since, from your message, you seem to have the access
guide, look at the owl cave drawing and then look at the back of the
book.  Glastonberry Grove, on the left of the owl cave drawing is
located on the far west part of the real Twin Peaks map-- bordering
Idaho.  This means that the 2 mountains on the owl cave map (the ones
with the big swirls on them) are the ones way to the west, partially in
Idaho.  This also means that owl cave is marked by either the symbol at
the foot or head of the giant-- kind of like, "You are here."
Anyway, the point was, that the waterfall drawing does not
correspond to White Tail Falls in front of the Great Northern.  It also
puts that crab thing, whatever it is, at "Railroad Cemetary."  Hmmm...

Did Pete & Audrcome out OK? sdbeck@mac.cc.macalstr.edu 1991-06-12 20:20
OK, about Pete and Audrey's surviving the bomb blast:

-Many people mention something about them (and Andrew) having a chance if the
timer is "slow enough." BUT WE SAW THE BOMB BLOW RIGHT AFTER ANDREW OPENED THE
DOOR! NO ONE LEFT THE ROOM!

-With all the debate about using the "glasses in the tree" as proof of either
Andrew's or the attendant's death, and of the force of the explosion, it seems
odd that everybody is ignoring the shot of the bank's windows getting blasted
out. Furthermore, was the vault downstairs? I didn't see any windows in the
bank scenes, and I can't remember if there were stairs in the corner. In
anycase, an explosion that blew out the windows probably was too strong for
Pete to be saved by the door on the safety deposit box. And Audrey, well, she
was chained to the door that the blast would have gone through en route to the
windows. ouch!

Of course, this doesn't mean that anyone is dead; it just means that it would
take a Lynchian twist to prevent the deaths of Pete and Audrey--otherwise, I
thinkthey'd certainly be toast. 

This doesn't answer any questions, but I hope it'll squash the thread on "could
they have survived?" Probably not...Oh, well.

To me, the connection with the Grail legend is tenuous at best.  While
the direct explanation of the name Glastonbury in the script clearly
brought King Arthur into it, I never thought about the Grail until you
mentioned it.  I had an image of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere lying
in the graves which were discovered at Glastonbury Abbey (and
purported to be those of the legendary King and Queen) and connected
that with the thought of Cooper and Annie lying in the grove the next
morning, Windom Earle's chess queen and Queen of Hearts having mutated
into Guinevere.  But this all came into things with about the same
abruptness as the White Lodge, once WKLP started winding down.  This
fuels my suspicion that this was originally intended as a season
finale, with perhaps some sort of Arthurian theme coming in to take over for
the Hero's Adventure.

I had wondered about the significance of the fish (since Windom Earle
seemed to find their presence empowering and appropriate), but I don't
think the Fisher King is really it.  [It does perhaps give some actual
significance to Pete and Audrey's night fishing trip, which was never
mentioned in this episode after all our speculation that it would be
curtains for Audrey--it was simply an explanation for how the 12
rainbow trout appeared in the truck.]  The parallels just don't seem
to be that strong to me.  I should say that my knowledge of that
legend comes mainly from the Parsifal story (not the Galahad version
in Malory), so perhaps you are referring to a version that has more
elements in common with what we saw last night.

But in the legend, I don't recall the knight being asked three
questions.  Rather, it is his failure to ASK any questions that causes
him to have to leave the castle and pass through many more trials
before he can again encounter the Grail and restore the Fisher King
and the wasteland that the King's land has become.  [Well--so maybe
Cooper SHOULD have asked what was in that cup of coffee.  Maybe it
could have healed all those wounds that we kept seeing on people...
The Holy Grail as a cup of coffee?  In Twin Peaks, it wouldn't
surprise me.   Hmm...]

Actually, since the writers brought in King Arthur at this late date,
I would have to give that role to Windom Earle (in a twisted sort of
way).  Caroline could be Guinevere and that would make Cooper be
Lancelot.  I don't think Cooper wants to be King of anything; his
character is much better suited to the role of the knight of
exceptional ability, very close and loyal to the King, but at the same
time the secret lover of the Queen.  Having killed off the first Queen
(Caroline), Windom Earle has to pursue Cooper and set up another Queen
for him to love, refusing to let go of that triangle relationship.

Yes, I can see that pieces of the imagery were there, but again I
don't think they were put together in a way to make a complete
parallel to the story--yet.  I don't see Cooper as Fisher King;
perhaps Windom Earle or Bob could be said to rule over a wasteland,
although neither of them seems to be wounded.  Cooper does indeed seem
to bungle his first test when presented with the mysteries within the
White/Black/Red Lodge, but the penalty he pays for that is much more
extreme than that paid by the Grail Knight.  I'm not ready to go out
on this limb yet.

I couldn't agree more!  I have a pet theory, that Hawk is the 
(daytime hunting bird) counterpart to the owls (nighttime 
hunting birds).  But the opposition is weakened by the fact
that in N American Indian mythology, birds are usually inter-
mediaries between man and the upper, not lower, gods.

But as for the actual character of Hawk: yes, he is in
many ways the true guide for everyone in the Sheriff's 
Department.  He is clearly pure of heart.  I am a little
surprised he didn't accompany Coop to the Lodges.

More opinions... KRK4@psuvm.psu.edu 1991-06-12 20:52
  Let's start with something productive, like a severe flame against all those
who waste this space whining like a bunch of crybabies about the ending.  David
 Lynch did NOT do anything bad to you, and all these death threats are getting
a little tedious and annoying.  Lynch did not engineer this to be the series fi
nale; he has been trying desparately to get the show continued, and is apparent
ly going to make a movie.  He WILL wrap this up, and I'm reasonably convinced t
hat the message of the show is that love will conquer evil.

  Another flame to all those that are misinterpreting the quotes in the BL, in
my opinion anyway:
       1.LMFAP: The next time you see me it won't be me

         He is not referring to himself but to Cooper!

       2.Giant: One and the same

         He may be referring to Cooper and BOB as CooBob

  And what about that bank explosion?  The vault is not in the basement, but on
the ground floor, as another poster proves by the fact that the glasses fly out
 the window.  Andrew had better be dead, or the show will lose a lot of credibi
lity.  Pete is either dead or not at all well.  Audrey may not be that badly of
f!  He was handcuffed to the grille, and would have been saved from being throw
n against solid objects!  The glasses, I think, are Andrew's so the blast did
not necessarily kill the bank manager, as others have supposed.  Who cares that
 the glass shattered?  Glass would shatter even from a small bomb.  The builing
 is relatively unharmed.  The bomb was probably Eckhart's and not Catharine's.
 Couldn't she have killed Andrew whenever she wanted?  It's Eckhart that knew h
e was alive yet didn't know how to find him.

  Finally, I don't know that Cooper really failed that miserably at the BL.  He
 did "protect the queen" and prove his love for Annie.  He did a very good job
at controlling the fear that would have destroyed me after two minutes, let alo
ne a day.  The important thing is that Annie and Coop are alive, and that WE is
 defeated.  Coop will be rescued by a combination of the Major's spirituality a
nd Annie's love.  (That bit about Laura seeing him in 25 years refers to the dr
eam, not that he'll be trapped for that long.)  One quick last word about "time
wasting scenes".  They are not a waste of time.  Senor Drrolcup, the bank manag
er, the BL, the Miss TP Contest were all fine examples of directors who are
able to create an immense amount of tension and suspense.  Do all these aggrava
ted people really believe that this wasn't MEANT to be a draining experience?
I haven't seen so many artistically dead critics since Maddie's murder (When so
 many people complained about the "glorification of violence against women").
This is nonsense; it's just the director playing off our fear as much as BOB do
es.

It's been going on for months now, so dont waste your own time and

Well coal to one person is anothers diamond.  It's all just a matter
of personal perspective and opinion.....and Lynch gives you the ability to
judge that yourself instead of judging his perceptions.  THAT is what
the gem is about.

That makes sense to me.  I rewatched it last night, and noted again
that it appears that the Coopleganger caught Cooper just before he
(now Cooperganger) and Annie appear in the grove and red light.
Cooper was injured after running from the Lauraganger (the bleeding).

Mirror&Coop SPOILER (finale note no one else noticed). DXH107@psuvm.psu.edu 1991-06-12 22:35
   As I looked back on it just recently, I really don't know if
it was or wasn't my imagination.  Here's what I originally saw/heard.

  1) When Coop bashed his head into the mirror, I thought I had
      caught a glimpse of Laura Palmer's face/hair in the mirror.
  2) ... I also heard LP's voice scream at the impact.

   Now pay CLOSE ATTENTION!!!  I do not want to be misquoted out of
context!                          ( === )
   In reality, I did NOT see LP's face/hair in the mirror in that first
quick glimpse      ( === )
before the impact.  I did double-check that.
   However, the hair color to LP's and BoB's is quite similar, and I
listened again and again to see if it was indeed LP screaming at the
impact of Coop's forehead into the mirror.  I still cannot tell.

   This is about as subtle a hint as you can get, guys!  If it is a
scream, then Lynch is possibly making a STRONG connection between LP
and BoB...  stronger than we are making, at least.  My only suggestion
is that as there are many things out there which are "one and the same,"
including the Giant and his double (disputed, I prefer butler), AND
the doppleganger BoB/Laura.  She never was, after all, in any way pure.
And "one and the same" should NOT necessarily be taken SO @#%:damn
literally!!!  It could be a mere inference to state of mind, or a matter
of LP being a part of BoB's amalgamation of souls.

   These are cursory ideas, and NOT theories.  If you have any substantial
insights to reply to this in more than two sentences (i.e. no "Gee, I heard
the scream, too." -- end sig), then PLEASE send me your thoughts, as I
don't feel like fishing through the many ridiculous replies to get to
the equally many intelligent replies.

Thanks.

Actually, I think this is an idea of what *we* do.  In other words,

extremes of Good and Evil.  In Lynch's TP universe, there is a
corruptable dark side that must be conquored (Hawk's statement of
first going through the BL to reach the WL).  The doppleganger is a
split we ourselves possess that allow Bob to do what you are describing.

Another good theory, but Coop didn't seem himself even before that (of

(Found in the trash bin behind Lynch/Frost productions:)

The finale - Version 4 

Bob is standing beside the entrance to the Black Lodge. Andy comes up to
him with a cup of coffee. Andy trips, falls, spills the coffee onto Bob.

Bob:I'm MELTING!!!!! MELTING!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh

Bob disappears into the oily puddle.

Andy:Well, I guess good always triumphs over evil!

Cooper walks up.

Coop:Good work Andy!

Coop pats andy on the back.

Andy:Agent Cooper, I found that evil murderer you asked me about,
Windom Earle, so I put him in the jail cell for you.

Coop gives Andy the thumbs up sign.

Coop:Andy, you're allright!

Pete walks up.

Pete:Hi guys! Guess what? Audrey's getting married to that
 jet pilot fellow.

Coop:really?

Pete:Yep. I sure hope he takes her fishing from time to time,
      she's such a dear heart!

Andy:I'm sure they will make a lovely couple.

Coop:Yes, I'm sure they will. Marriage is both strange and wonderful.

Sherriff Truman walks up.

Truman:Well guys, I had to break up a little fight at Ed & Nadine's,
but everything is back to normal now. Seems that Nadine is
back to normal, and so Ed and Nadine can get on with their
life now.

Andy:But what about Norma?

Truman:They're going to marry her too. She'll live with them.

Andy:Oh. (looks thoughtful)

Cut to Hayward living room. Ben Horne is in the living room with
Doc Hayward and Mrs. Hayward. Donna walks in.

Donna:You!

Ben:Yes, Donna, I wanted to be good. I had to tell them.
I'm actually James's father!

All:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Cut to the log lady's home:

Log Lady:Well, here goes!

She pours an oily substance all over the log. There is a little
smoke, then a huge flash of light, and she is holding in her arms:
The Log Man!!! (Try to get Arnold Schwartzenegger for this role!)

Log Man:Hi Honey, I'm home! (smiles)

Cut to the Double R:

Bobby and Shelley are leaning over the counter talking.

Bobby:Let's get married!

Shelley:Ok!

Bobby:But what about LEO?

Shelley:I got a judgement against him for divorce, by default,
He never even showed up!!!

Bobby:Wow, Shelley, Wow!

Cut to TV set:

Chet:Jade, I'm so glad we came out of this okay!

Jade:Oh, Chet! But what happened with Emerald?

Chet:She and Montanna are opening up a diner in a faraway
town, they won't bother us again!

Jade:Oh, Chet! (They embrace)

Camera pans back to reveal bedroom, and in the bed, Leo, with
a cup of coffee and a piece of cherry pie, smiling, and next
to Leo, Heidi! Heidi takes a bite from her donut.

Cut to The Great Northern Lobby:

   The giant walks up to the desk.

Giant:If you tell me the price for a room, then can I believe you?

Clerk:Of course sir. This is a high class joint!  Front!

Little man from another place walks up wearing bellboy's uniform.
He grabs the giant's bag.

LMFAP:Waulk theeeeese waaaaaay! (smiles, rolls eyes around)

LMFAP starts walking to the beat of the jazz music, snapping
his fingers with his free hand, dancing toward the room.
The giant looks amazed, then starts following, doing
the same dance.

Cut to the Sherriff's Department.

Lucy:Now that I've decided that you will be the father, we can
start buying the wardrobe for the baby!

Andy:Lucy, will you marry me?

Lucy:Oh, Andy, yes!

Lucy and andy kiss over the counter, Hawk walks through, notices
them, and shakes his head slightly while he continues walking.


Cut to the Double R:


Agent Cooper walks in.

Cooper:Norma! You're looking good! Nice to see you! Major Briggs,
I have the most amazing things to tell you about the
green butt skunk! Have you been fishing lately?

Annie:Well hello there!

Coop:Hi Annie. (pauses) Annie: I've been doing alot of thinking
lately, and it has become clear to me that I've been focusing
beyond the edges of the board too long, and that when a man
can't picture the necessity for life as it should be and the
beauty of a douglas fir or making love with a beautiful woman
        you feel genuine affection for, that the whole universe can
be changed somehow.

Annie passes out, crashes to the floor.

Coop whips out pocket recorder.

Coop:Diane, what ever did happen to the balanced national budget?

Norma picks up Annie, starts reviving her.

Coop:How's Annie?

Norma:She'll be fine. 

Coop:Good.

Coop joins Norma with Annie, Annie comes around

Coop:Annie, will you marry me?

Annie:Oh, yes! I accept!

Coop:(smiles) Then our adventures are just beginning!
Come on everybody! There's going to be a group
wedding at the roadhouse!

Briggs:Agent Cooper, there's been one thing I've been
meaning to ask you.

Coop:Yes  major, what is it?

Briggs:I've been wondering about this for a long time now,
and so I have to ask you:
Are cherry pies really enough?

Coop:Only if you get three pieces. With coffee.


Laura Palmer walks in.


Laura Palmer:Hi everybody, I'm back!

All:Where have you been?

Laura Palmer:I had the strangest dream, I dreamed I died. And
you were there, and you, and you, and you! But, everything's
fine now, so I'll be back in school on Monday.

Everybody smiles and nods approval.

I also heard a terrible rumour that the 22'thd episode will be the 
last one. Is it true? I understand that it has been on TV in the USA
so, please inform me about the real number of episodes and will there
be another Lynch/Frost serie? Please keep me informed because it has

I haven't time to read all the posts this morning (!) but the bunch I did
read seem to have interpreted things differently....ANNIE IS DEAD!!!!! I
thought she was alive, too, and shivered at the idea of BOB/Cooper tormenting
her, but my astute fellow Peakers rewound the tape.  Cooper wakes up, asks
how's Annie, and the Sheriff then looks at Doc H., not at Coop, and answers
that she is fine and in the hospital.  Just at that moment, Doc puts his
head down very dramatically. So...STOP TALKING ABOUT ANNIE, except that I
suppose she walks somewhere, still.  *That* depresses me.

I'm going to miss all of you!

And why hasn't Major Briggs come back to save him?  Did the 
drugged state cause him not to know how to get back?  Likely, but I   
think that he would have at least tried.  After all, Leo did save his
life.

I agree with the this.  It may not have been in character as far
as the writers and directors were concerned, but I wanted Coop to say
something and do something in the Waiting Rooms.  It reminded me of all
of the people who walk into the old shed where Jason is and let 
themselves be killed.  Bah!

Ben's conversion from non-psychic evil to non-psychic good is
now taking another step.  From his reading he will become psychic (or
at least semi-psychic) good.  Although it may be a while since those 
books are pretty long and deep.  The forces will now marshal to rescue 
Coop.  See the listing of psychic and non-psychic, good and evil people
that I gave a long while back.

And no oil needed to get in.  Someone said that the oil was just
to make the mental connection, but I was expecting more than that.  It 
could be that the 'puddle' was really oil and this was another clue for
Coop as to the gateways location.

Coop's dark side was there all along, see other people's
discussion of Hawk's comment.  However when he failed to love his enemy
and lay down his life for WE's even though WE was evil, he gave his 
dark side the strength it needed to come out.  It may have come out any
way but I think Coop could have vanquished it if he had made that
sacrifice.  The sacrifice for WE would have much greater than one for 
Annie.

Re: Planet Gossip duxbury+@andrew.cmu.edu (Rebecca W. Duxbury) 1991-06-13 06:53
Did anyone notice an article in the Pittsburgh Press yesterday about the
planets (venus, mars, jupiter and the moon?) nearing each other this weekend?
They refer to it as a near miss (to the eye, really still a great
distance away). 
The article said that the last time they were this close was 25 years ago and
that it is believed that a past alignment was thought to be the star of 
Bethlehem.  

When Laura Palmer said that she would see Cooper in 25 years, do you think
it was possible she meant 25 years in the past somehow?  It is strange that
the alignment date was exactly 25 years ago.  

I can copy the article here if anyone is interested.  I left the article at
home (reason why I am not sure of exact planets).

I'm in Australia so we have a few more episodes to go before we see it). I'm
in a spin now and I have a couple of questions that are nagging at me that I
am hoping some more experienced TP'ers may be able to help explain.

1) How can "love be enough"? {Put another way I believe "love is not enough"
   as has been mentioned often in postings here relates to the Yin/Yang like
   nature of the spiritual conflict/battles going on in TP.}

   Does anyone think that the hateful/evil forces for any specific personal-
   ity in the TP world will have to combine with the good side/forces to end
   in "victory" in the conflict?

   On the surface of it I see the existence of Bob and the requirement for a
   "perfect courage" to be disproofs of such a thesis as the above. But what
   is "perfect courage" anyway?  Also, has Mike ever been seen in the series
   (the Mike that Bob is afraid of).  If not I'm willing to speculate that a
   reason could be that Mike is anti-Bob. {Of course the doppleganger count-
   erparts from the Black Lodge scene you all talk about do not seem to have
   different names to their counterparts. :-)  Shooting down my own theory?}

2) Arthurian legend as pointed to in the SPOILERS leads me to ask about some
   ones reference that I read  to Leo as "Leo the Lion Hearted" with respect
   to was there a "Lion Hearted" individual in Arthurian legend (or am I now
   thinking of Robin Hood's story and of King Richard the LH'ed. :-))

There may be a lot to shoot down in my above thoughts but then remeber that I
have *seen* almost nothing of the series ** s o  f a r **.  :-)

Thanking you in advance for your consideration of my questions.

yours truly,
Lou Cavallo.
   
PS: thanks to all the TP'ers that helped me overcome my problems with making
a properly unpacked version of the TP timeline.  It's great!  And lastly, it
has impressed me no end that over 300 posts have been made to this newsgroup
since the ending of TP in only a couple of days. Is this some kind of USENET
record?

Re: Finale comments (spoilers) ii7gjg0b@serss0.fiu.edu (Jim Stafford) 1991-06-13 07:11
finale stuff follows:

Random comments on "The End":

I think this was a great season finale, and is probably better than any 
'series finale' that they may have come up with.  You want a sense of
closure, go read a harlequin romance.   Lynch has left us with an open
wound in our cerebral cortex (brain damage?).  I don't think it would be
possible to terminate all the major and minor plotlines in this series,
short of some sort of (choose one) mass murder/ alien invasion /nuclear
war / all of the above.  Besides, now we can make up our own episodes.

As with the series in general, you had to forget about what real humans
would do in some of the situations, epecially in regards to law enforce-
ment.  Like, they're not going to cancel the beauty pageant?  And the
lack of any effort to search for WE?  And assuming I did have visions
of giants on a regular basis, I would sure as hell listen to what they
were trying to tell me.

Geez, it took them this long to figure out that those are astrological
symbols?  Of course maybe the 4H club is behind it.

I loved the scenes with the old banker.  They were EXCRUCIATING to watch,
especially with the story in the WL/BL developing.  The fact that Lynch
used it before made it even more painful, because you knew it would take
_forever_.  

The beauty pageant scene worked pretty well (boy, that Lucy sure can
dance, but she has a poor sense of prenatal care!).  Bobby sure made
a quick recovery, seeing how he was clobbered with that log.  Not
even a bandaid.  Wonder if his personality has changed?.

The WL/BL scenes confused the hell out of me.  Haven't had time to 
watch them again, but I think there may be some cryptography going
on in the dialog.  The palindrome "wow, bob, wow" might indicate some
point of reference.  (Just another theory...)  

I think some of you may have been disappointed by the cheap set approach
to the lodges.  I think many were envisioning some kind of apocalyptic
struggle between the forces of good and evil, sort of a Tolkienesque
wizard/demon thing.  Lynch portrayed the struggle as more of an internal
one (Good Dale, Bad Dale), in which no one is completely white or black
(lodge).  You were expecting Cooper the Barbarian?

Well, I'll post again after I watch it again.  Until then...

Chess? walsh@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu (Edward E Walsh) 1991-06-13 07:52
Is there a chess game going on in the Red Room sequence?  Cooper would
be a knight for the white side, making one-up-two-over diagonal moves
between squares/rooms, pursuing Annie, who WE has absconded to serve
as a black queen.  Then WE proposes Coop as the white knight be
sacrificed for the black queen...but for some reason it's an illegal
move ("He can't do that")... and I don't know what happens next but
the white knight/cooper is then being chased across the board by the
black night/cooper.  Or would he be a king?  ala King Arthur/Queen
Guinivere?  Doesn't really seem to work, does it.  But the chess motif
in earlier WE episodes got me thinking...plus the black side/white
side idea, and the way a chess board consists of mirrored black/white
pieces...

Forgive me if this has been rehashed; I got 275 more articles to go through
and not enough time to do it now.  Why is everyone on Lynch's case for leaving
this a cliff-hanger?  The people who deserve the bitching-at are the
programming
executives at ABC.  I'm under the impression that when the series went
on
hiatus the first time the last six episodes (including the two-hour
finale)
were partially written and shot.  By the time the word actually came out
that
the series was cancelled (May 22), the final two episodes must have been
ready
to go also.  With the production costs for one episode being as high as
I've
heard, do you think ABC gives a damn that it wasn't wrapped up in a nice
little
ending?  All I want to know is where the show's going to show up
next...

And when do the t-shirts and bumper stickers appear?  "How's Annie?"

Re: Waiting Room Topologies (Was: Statue inconsistancy) brian@hplvec.LVLD.HP.COM (Brian Wood) 1991-06-13 09:49
I rewatched the first two episodes after the hiatus last night.  In
the scene where Gordon Cole notices Shelley's beauty in the diner,
he comments that she "reminds me of the babe with no arms".  Coop
responds "Venus de Milo".  Gordon answers "the name's Venus, but..."

Spooky to see the Venus, the symbol of love, appearing and disappearing.
Has to be a reason for this!

Someone commented that it was easy to get into the BL.  Not true.  Coop
got in through his love for Annie. WE got in by using Annie's fear.
As Briggs said, "fear and love open the door".

Actually, Mars has been between Venus and Jupiter for over a week now.  It is
substantially dimmer, so can go unnoticed.  I think it's also a bit higher in
the sky than the other two at the moment.

I can't decide that way.  How about a tier or grade system instead?
How does one decide that Arrival is worth 17 and The Schizoid Man only 16,
for instance?

Do you (or does anyone) have a list of all the differences in the alternate
Arrival/Chimes?  I've seen part of the alternate Chimes and I guess you can
rent it, but this is the first I've heard of a different Arrival...

Lynch laughs at the public vgibbs@nmsu.edu (GIBBS) 1991-06-13 10:35
It has been mentioned before that Lynch is making fun of the public.
This was never so clearly explained (at least to me) then through
the use of the spiders above Leo. The viewing public are represented
as the spiders in the cage, not being able to change their fate (i.e.,
not being able to affect changes in the show). The string represents
twin peaks (the show) and how at this time it is being held on by a 
thread. Leo kinda represents the balance the show is in, i.e., what
will happen in the future. It also represents a vision of the 
cliff hanger that Twin Peaks is known for.
Those are my thoughts anyway.

A little more on Doppelgangers . . . sb2t+@andrew.cmu.edu (Susan Lynn Bowser) 1991-06-13 10:54
From the Academic American Encyclopedia [machine-readable data file]:


ARTICLE 0088550-0
TITLE double
ARTICLE The double (German; Doppelganger or "double walker") is a
literary device known since ancient times and refers to a
psychological mirror image or a split personality. The twin
images generally reflect good and evil. The device is best
illustrated in such works of German romantic fiction as Jean
Paul Richter's Siebenkas (1796), where the neologism
Doppeltganger was first used, and E. T. A. Hoffmann's Die
Doppeltganger (1822). But the double character is also found in
Plautus's Amphitryon, Edgar Allan Poe's William Wilson, Robert
Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dostoyevsky's The
Double, and Joseph Conrad's The Secret Sharer. VICTOR TERRAS

Double in Literature (1970); Tymms, Ralph, Doubles in Literary

I don't know how old you are, but another group in the 1960s (the Byrds?)
wrote this song, "C'mon people now...gotta love one another right now."
I think the year was like 1968. The Indigo Girls have done a cover of
this song. It has nothing to do with Twin Peaks.

I get the feeling that if he stepped out of one room for a second
then stepped back in it, it would be totally different.  i.e. I
don't think you can map a place such as the Black Lodge, just as
I doubt there is a map of heaven.

I think they bunched up the commercials.  If you noticed, for the first
time there were no commercials between the credits and the first scene,
and no commercials for the next 20 minutes.  Same for the very end.
There were no commercials for the last 25 minutes (except right before
the final credits of course).

I'd like to point out that Cooper didn't SELL his soul, he SACRIFICED
it to save Annie.  Pretty powerful stuff, that, at least in classic
epic literature.  That's why I believe it's not Cooper that Bob's
possessing, but, as many have pointed out, the doppelganger, and it
won't take much effort for Cooper to break free and put Bob back in
the Black Lodge.

The coming movie & ... raveling@Unify.com (Paul Raveling) 1991-06-13 12:27
Last night I phoned Scott Frost again, and got a couple
fresh bits of into.

Probable good news (?):

  Details are not final for the Twin Peaks movie, but the
  commitments to do it are quite close to being nailed down.

Probable bad news (IMHO):

  Lynch wants the movie to be about the last 7 days of
  Laura Palmer's life.  The threads left hanging in the
  last TV episode will probably hang forever -- and what
  sort of place is Peaks without Coop?

Also, they had been negotiating with foreign sources for
funding to continue the TV series but did not secure the
necessary support.

Scott also said his book was doing particularly well in
foreign markets, where the TV show has also been successful.
Apparently it's drawn enough attention that the Australians
have been interviewing him by telephone.


P.S.:  He's about to wrap up a non-Peaks movie script
and is looking for work...  Anyone need a good script?

Of course, the scene was so confusing (i.e. Annie

Well, the bodies that the ``women'' in this scene have don't always
correspond to who they claim to be:

Annie (in dark dress, no glazed over eyes): Dale.  I saw the face of
the man who killed me
Cooper: Annie... you saw the face of the man who killed you?
Annie: It was my husband.
Cooper: Annie?
Annie: Who's Annie?  It's me, it's me, it's me.
Cooper: Caroline?
Cut to Cooper's POV.  It's Caroline, in pastel-colored dress, with
glazed eyes.
Cooper: Caroline?
Caroline: You must be mistaken.  I'm alive.
(sometime during the course of this, we cut to a side shot, and it's
Annie, but in the pastel dress.  I'm don't believe we see her eyes
well enough to tell if they're glazed.)

So, the first apparition looks like Annie, but acts like Caroline.
She transmogrifies into something that looks like Caroline, but acts
like Annie (who denies being Caroline, i.e. dead), who then turns into
a combination of the two (Annie's appearance, Caroline's dress).

Or so it seems to me, anyway.

Unless your TV doesn't have any way of changing channels, and you were
leaving it on ABC the rest of the time just so you could watch TP, how are
you going to convince them that you're going to watch it less now than you
did with TP, with the obvious exception of that one hour a week.  Were you
watching the other shows because you thought ABC was so great to give you
TP?  TV ratings points are not based on how many people watch a station in a
given week, they are based on the specific time slot.

The Black Lodge is the opposite of OZ!

Consider these references:

  1. Garland Briggs asks about JUDY GARLAND, who starred as Dorothy
     in the Wizard of Oz.

  2. When Briggs emerges from the woods, he asks where the castle is.
     (Though this could have been a reference to the castle of the
     king of Romania!)

  3. Near the black and white firepit portal stands Pete's truck,
     which has twelve RAINBOW trout.  Thus the portal could be said to
     be over the rainbow.

  4. The wizard used fire to strike fear into Dorothy and her friends.

  5. Water was used to kill the wicked witch, just as the sprinklers
     removed Bob from Leland.

  6. The colors RED and GREEN are opposites.  The red traffic light
     is akin to the red room, the green light to peacefulness.  The
     emerald city in the land of Oz was, of course, GREEN.

  7. David Lynch used Oz references extensively in 'Wild at Heart'.

  8. The promo for the return of TP to Thursdays on ABC had Coop acting
     as Dorothy in bed, surrounded by his (her) friends.  This promo
     may have been more symbolic than we knew!

Here's the answer to how Coop gets out of the Black Lodge: he clicks
his heels together 3 times and repeats "There's no place like home."


Brian WOOD    *House address 710 -- same as Blue Lady's apt in Blue Velvet
              *Just got through studying major religious works like Ben Horne
              *Live next to a grove of TREES
              *My wife's aunt's name is Annie; my sister's name is Anne
              *My wife grew up next to a forest; next street - Glastonbury

Actually, it is "Fire walk with me" (no comma).  Up to now it could
have been also interpreted as "firewalk with me" were it not for last
episode's subtitles.

When Cooper says something like "we have to look at the ephemeris"
the close-up show that follows is that of some Mickey Mouse planetary
drawing instead of the real ephemeris: a table of numbers.  I though
that was silly.

well, i don't have them, but i'd like to second that request, plus add on a
little fantasy request of my own.  something that could be a really neat-o
addition to my library would be something along the lines of the postscript
star trek, next generation episode guide that's around.  i would do it if
i had the knowledge (of episodes and the actual process of making it).  does
anyone have the interest in doing this?  right now seems the perfect point
in time to compile such a thing, as the show is at a stopping point for the
moment.  so, whaddya say?!

Hmm.  I've never doubted that the LMFAP is Bob, and not just because
of the dancing Leland + LMFAP thing:  remember when Josie died, in
Coop's vision he first saw the LMFAP dancing on the bed; then Bob
came out from behind it with no more LMFAP.  This was the first time
Coop saw Bob in his Silva-form, I believe, except for the drawing of
Bob.  What was the consensus of the net about the double-appearance back
when it happened?

WE at the beginning of the movie jamii@edsr.eds.com (Jamii K. Corley) 1991-06-13 15:18
 I also noticed WE's pale face and black teeth. My first thought was he'd 
been out experimenting with this and that to get into the Black Lodge. Who
knows what sort of nasty things he'd been eating. I wondered if it might not
have been whatever was in the sack. This was a chilling thought after we
found out about the spiders. 
 I had an odd reaction to the last hour of the movie and wondered if anyone
else had a similar feeling. I felt like I'd dreamt the entire thing before.
I think alot of this was set up by Lynch in repeating short pieces of dialog
and using similar sets and situations. Anyone else have that reaction?

BUT, the blowing out of the windows just shows the great buildup of
air pressure from the blast.  Other than having punctured eardrums,
etc, it IS possible that Audrey survived.  Less so for Pete.  Probably
not for Andrew who was in the path of the blast (pretty DAMN
unlikely!).

Probably the giant is actually the doorman for the White lodge and if you pass
the test, he will stamp your hand (neck or whatever) as you leave so you can
get back in later ...
